The main benefit of that is that they won't be overwritten if you upgrade MediaWiki. As for your specific question, I'm not quite sure what you mean. How are you distinguishing the departments? If they are in different namespaces, you can protect certain namespaces to be editable only by members of certain groups (see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:%24wgNamespaceProtection ), although you would require a different group for each department, rather than a single manager group (you can have both, of course). _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l

@Thomas Thank you for reply...but my aim is to make a hierarchy of groups in which one is manager group and i have more than 40 department's manager in that group. To restrict rights in each other departments i want to know that is it possible to make only one group of name "manager" and have 40 members those are head of each department. name space will not be able to restrict rights properly. can you suggest something else
