Ok, maybe that sounded too arrogant :-), but look, there are several dozens of ways to read information stored on a wikipage, I perfectly understand that there is a lot of work needed to close the access through all these channels. For some channels, experience shows, it's impossible to close access without patching the core:
1) go directly to the page 2) transclude the page into another page 3) use MediaWiki API 4) if you use extensions, for example DPL or Semantic MediaWiki, retrieve the data with their queries 5) use Special:Export 6) use RSS
Oh, I've found a list here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Security_issues_with_authorization_extensions

sorry: I can retrieve the data stored on any mediawiki page if I want to.

Hello again,
I know that the mailing list is probably not the good place for this question, but I would like to know how you can do that (bypass Lockdown and access data stored in a mediawiki page)? I tried to do some search on Google on this, but didn't find something... OK, I'm a new with Mediawiki, but didn't find something... If you can give me a link which explain...
Thanks !
Pierre
