Hope this isn't off-topic here.
I prefer playing with things to reading documentation, but I can't play with mediawiki just now for reasons given in another thread, so I've been looking at the docs and it seems it might be difficult to get it to do what I want.
That is: have a site a bit like a blog, in that anonymous users can read anything, people can comment on articles (ie add to talk pages) -- though maybe requiring registration/login -- but nobody can edit articles except the owner. I found the Preventing Access page on Meta but that doesn't seem to cover my case. I'm willing to copy hacks that others have developed and tested but not to do experimental hacking myself. Do I need to look elsewhere for this functionality?
check the talkright extension.
Will do.
also, i posted code that lets users easily post comments (instead of editing the discussion page). search for the 'discussions questions' thread
There's just 2 messages in that thread in the archives, a question from you and an answer from Rob Church.
I'll have a look at the code you posted here. Thanks very much.
