Hello,
We're using MediaWiki in our company as an informationsystem to our customers.
We collect manuals, FAQs and other information from our products in the wiki and all our customers got a user to read this articles.
All customers are only able to read, employees also can create and edit articles.
Now we want to use the discussion-sites from the articles to get feedbacks from our customers.
The problem is: i can't enable the edit-permission for customers to protect our articles, but without this permission customers are not able to edit the discussion-sites.
Customers may not get the edit-permission to guarantee the quality of the information inside.
How can i solve this conflict!?
Are there any extended permissions for discussion-sites?!
Thanks a lot for your help!

Answers in German language are also welcome ;-)
why don´t let them edit all pages, except the main page? What do you fear? You just have to have an admin ready to prevent misusage... Att

Give them edit rights and protect non-talk namespaces with $wgNamespaceProtection with a 'employeedit' right. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgNamespaceProtection
That can also be done with a hook in a few lines instead of listing all namespaces.
You can also allow them to edit all pages, but install FlaggedRevs so unreviewed edits aren't shown by default. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:FlaggedRevs
