Hi, This seems to work for people who are not logged in but is there a way to protect my sections/articles from other logged in users ?

Thanks, Amit

I meant to do this months ago but just got around to it today. I put a page for ProtectSection.php up on mediawiki.org

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ProtectSection

it links to the svn version and has the code for my modified version on the page. Originally written by ThomasV... I just tweaked it.

For those who don't already know, ProtectSection.php allows you to block editing of text between <protect></protect> tags from editing by anyone who is not a sysop or a bureaucrat (these group permissions can be modified in the code). My modification suppresses the section edit link for subsections inside protect tags - it may not work properly with caching, but I don't have squid running for my wikis so I can't test that. ===================================== Jim Hu Associate Professor Dept. of Biochemistry and Biophysics 2128 TAMU Texas A&M Univ.
