Hi folks,
Does anyone know of a way to limit editing to the first person to create a page? For example, if I create a page on the wiki, I'm the only one (besides admins) that can edit the page afterwards?
Richard
That sounds like it would require an extension, and I don't know of one that's been written to address that need (of course there may still be one nonetheless).
You may want to consider why it is you want this feature. There may be a better solution to the underlying problem.

It's already done with .cs and .css subpages, if I remember correctly. Maybe you can take a look on how's implemented there ;-)

Sorry, I meant .js instead of .cs ;-)

Right - there are other mechanisms for restricting the editability of a page than whether someone happened to get there first.
I've written two extensions for the case where you want to restrict edits to User pages:
1) KeepYourHandsToYourself prevents users from editing eachother's pages and subpages
2) EditOnlyYourOwnPage prevents users from editing anything other than their own page, talk page and subpages thereof
One of those two may meet Richard's needs depending on how flexible the problem statement is.

It's implemented by matching the editor name with the basepagename

There is probably something better than MediaWiki for that - only allowing the original creator to edit the page means it isn't actually a wiki, so MediaWiki is a poor choice.

True. For this reason some people have suggested I switch to Drupal, but since we're already using Mediawiki I thought I'd try that first.

Thank you for finding this. It looks like this will work with a small modification. (I want editing by the _original_ author instead of the most recent author.)
