Hi folks, I am studying-up on how to implement edit and view permissions for individual namespaces and the following link is the only method I have found so far:
[Mediawiki-l] Permissions of groups on namespaces: http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/htdig/mediawiki-l/2006-May/012359.html
My Questions is: Is this the most up-to-date method recommended by this forum? If so, any additional advice? If not, what then?
Thanks all....

Fortunately, MediaWiki has made some progress since then: Use $wgNamespaceProtection ( http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:%24wgNamespaceProtection) for restricting edit access. For restricting read access, you can try the lockdown extension (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Lockdown), though there may be holes.
