Hello wiki pros, Is there a way to restrict edits of a protected page to only bureaucrats? Seems like it cannot be done. Alternatively, I hierarchy of admins I guess might help; but not sure. Thanks, Al

I'm probably wrong, but without extensions it would at least require a new namespace, if you don't want to lock down one of the existing ones. On Sep 19, 2013 5:39 PM, "Al" <alj62888(a)yahoo.com> wrote:

Overlord, its just a matter of defining a new protection level, and giving associated permissions to crats, see the two links in the previous email On Thu, Sep 19, 2013 at 6:42 PM, OQ <overlordq(a)gmail.com> wrote:
