Unsubscribe me please.
I can't figure out how to from the web site and have no idea which of my

into
the same inbox.

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.
