Let me understand what is meant in setting user rights and permissions with '$wgGroupPermissions':
- Does this mean that some pages and/or groups of pages
can be set to allow editing by only certain groups or individuals?
If you hack around it _might_ work, but that's not really supported.
- And can page viewing be limited in the same manner?
Not supported at all.
- And if the above is so: is it necessary that said pages be
inside certain directories with the write permissions set accordingly? Or is a 'flat' file model also an option, with access on a file-by-file ownership basis?
No such thing.
- Also: Was all the above functionality available in v1.4.x
with settings such as '$wgWhitelistAccount' and '$wgWhitelistEdit', etc.?
No, and it's still not.
