Hi! I tried searching the archives for this, but the description of my problem has such general terms that I got literally thousands of hits, and couldn't hope to search for them all. As such, I apologize if this question has been addressed before! I am looking for a mod or plugin that would allow only the original author of an article to edit said article. If this hasn't been done or isn't possible, then I'd be interested in a way to lock all articles upon the initial submission. Do any of you know of such a functionality, either which already exists in mediawiki, or which exists in the form of a mod or plugin?

Thanks. Is there a central repository of extensions that I could search through? I'm a perl girl, not a php girl, so I'm not technically capable of writing the extension myself.

Hello Erin, I don't know if it will help but i've juste wrote something similar... My extension check if the user which wants to edit a page belonging to a special namespace is the same person who edited it in first. Well the code speaks for himself (sorry for the french comments) : ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----- <?PHP $wgExtensionFunctions[] = 'Wikinsa_Hooks'; function Wikinsa_Hooks() { global $wgHooks; $wgHooks['userCan'][] = 'verifDroitsUsers'; } function verifDroitsUsers(&$title, &$user, $action, &$result) { //-------------------------------------------------------- // // Vérifie si il s'agit d'une requête d'EDITION // et si l'utilisateur n'est pas un SYSOP // //-------------------------------------------------------- if($action == 'edit' && !$user->isSysop()) { // ------------------------ // // --- Page UTILISATEUR --- // // ------------------------ // if($title->getNamespace() == NS_USER) { // --- Compare les noms -- // if ($user->getName() != $title->getText() ) { $result = false; } } // --------------------------- // // --- Expérience de Stage --- // // --------------------------- // if ($title->getNamespace() == 100) { // --- connexion au SGBD --- // $dbw =& wfGetDB( DB_MASTER ); // --- titre de la page --- // $titre_page = $title->getText(); $titre_page = str_replace(" ","_", $titre_page); // --- les tables de la base --- // $table_1 = $dbw->tableName( 'page' ); $table_2 = $dbw->tableName( 'revision' ); // --- 1ère requête : id de la page --- // $res1 = $dbw->query("SELECT page_id FROM $table_1 WHERE page_title=\"$titre_page\";"); $ligne = mysql_fetch_row($res1); $id_page = $ligne[0]; // ---- 2ème requête : nom de l'utilisateur ---/ $res2 = $dbw->query("SELECT rev_user_text FROM $table_2 WHERE rev_page = \"$id_page\" LIMIT 1;"); $ligne = mysql_fetch_row($res2); $nom_user = $ligne[0]; // --- Compare le nom du créateur et du visiteur --- / if($user->getName() != $nom_user && $nom_user != null) $result = false; } } } ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----- Christophe _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l(a)Wikimedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l

$titre_page = $title->getText(); $titre_page = str_replace(" ","_", $titre_page);

// --- 1ère requête : id de la page --- // $res1 = $dbw->query("SELECT page_id FROM $table_1 WHERE page_title=\"$titre_page\";");

// ---- 2ème requête : nom de l'utilisateur ---/ $res2 = $dbw->query("SELECT rev_user_text FROM $table_2 WHERE rev_page = \"$id_page\" LIMIT 1;");
