mediawiki 1.3beta3 on Debian testing with apache2 and the other standard packages.

On my actually private Knowledgebase I wanted to try out the setting of read and write access restrictions like so:

# only sysops and developers may add users $wgWhiteListAccount = array ( "sysop" => 1, "developer" => 1 );

# I want only registered users to add and edit articles $wgWhiteListEdit = true; $wgWhiteListRead = array ( ":Hauptseite" );

Only it doesn't make any changes to the behaviour of the wiki. Whether I'm logged in or not I can view whatever page I want and can also add or edit them.

Something I missed?
