Hi,
For a private wiki, I had the request to add groups of pages to the white-list. Contributors will regularly add (and possibly delete) pages in those groups. So manually editing $wgWhitelistRead appears to be a maintenance nightmare.
So, is there a way to add regexp or namespace (or any other "collection" of pages) in $wgWhitelistRead?
If not (as I think), is there a hook I could use to patch the white-list validation?
Thanks in advance for your answers, Sylvain Leroux

I was involved with a wiki that had similar needs. I made a small little extension to whitelist a namespace - http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Whitelist_Namespaces Perhaps it might be useful to you.
Cheers, Bawolff
