Hi, thank you for the information. I have found another extension similar to Page-by-page and I cannot do it works fine. I am doing something wrong. The extension is named CrudeProtection : http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CrudeProtection and the restriction only works when I create the page. For example : <protect>User1</protect> gives permissions to read the page to User1. If I create it using User2, an "Access Denied" page is shown on the screen ( Fine! ), but then, if I try to read the page again I (User2) can see it.
Anybody knows what I am doing wrong? Why is the restriction working only on page creation?
Thank you.

A PRIVATE article is an article which it only can be watched by the creator ( In general , not by all ). Anybody knows how to do it?.
