[Semanti Forms] How to hardcode...

It recently came to my attention that users of my wiki cannot edit/create their user and talk pages and it's probably been this way for some time and I didn't realize it til now. It's using v1.24.4 They have the following permissions. $wgGroupPermissions['autoconfirmed']['read'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['autoconfirmed']['edit'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['autoconfirmed']['createpage'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['autoconfirmed']['createtalk'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['autoconfirmed']['upload'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['autoconfirmed']['reupload'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['autoconfirmed']['reupload-shared'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['autoconfirmed']['move'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['autoconfirmed']['minoredit'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['autoconfirmed']['createaccount'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['autoconfirmed']['editprotected'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['autoconfirmed']['editsemiprotected'] = false; Any thoughts on how to fix this? Thanks Adrian

Ah here it is.. $wgNamespaceProtection[NS_USER] = array( 'protect' ); $wgNamespaceProtection[NS_USER_TALK] = array( 'protect' ); Any thoughts on how I could set this up so that only the user can edit their own user page but leave their talk open to edits from other users?

The easiest way to do something like that would be to set an abuse filter rule. On Sun, Dec 20, 2015 at 10:41 AM, 2007 <2007(a)gmaskfx.com> wrote:

I'll check those out.. I was hoping there was a native way to do this because so far my wiki has been fairly low maintenance and I want to keep it that way and therefore I'm wary of extensions. SemanticACL is not actively maintained and has been updated since 2013. On Sun, Dec 20, 2015 at 8:06 AM, <tharpenator(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Thats why I suggested the abuse filter extension, it is and will be actively maintained On Sun, Dec 20, 2015 at 11:13 AM, 2007 <2007(a)gmaskfx.com> wrote:

Hi John, Two extensions come to mind for access control on user pages. Look at Extension:Article Protection or if you have semantic Mediawiki installed, Extension: SemanticACL. Haven't tried Article Protection, but SemanticACL works great.

John, I'm looking at the abuse filter docs and it's not clear to me how I would use it to prevent other users from editing other users' user pages. Can you give an example? Thanks Adrian On Sun, Dec 20, 2015 at 7:43 AM, John <phoenixoverride(a)gmail.com> wrote:

something like: article_namespace == 2 & ( basepagename != user_name ) should work, havent tested it, but should be OK On Sun, Dec 20, 2015 at 11:15 AM, 2007 <2007(a)gmaskfx.com> wrote:
