Hello,
I am a new User of mediawiki, and I am planning to put it up on my martial arts related site. Being a wiki newbie, I don't know if and how I can do the following: When I write something like [[mypage]] and "mypage" doesn't exist yet, I would like registered users to get a link to the edit screen for mypage (standard behaviour), but unregistered readers should receive only an emphasized version of "mypage", e.g. <b>mypage</b>. That way, I could include lots of terminology in my site and gradually fill it up with contents without going public with dozens of broken links (I know this is not exactly the wiki way, but it is a business site, and I'd prefer not having everybody editing it).
So basically: If a user is logged in, [[mypage]] would translate to <a href=" /wiki/index.php?title=mypage&action=edit">mypage</a>, otherwise it would translate to <b>mypage</b>. I am a programmer geek :-), so I guess I could eventually come up with a solution for this myself, but I was wondering if there is a "standardized hack" for such a behavior. Many thanks in advance,
Sean Floyd
