I've wrote a little thing for mediawiki. I need an open wiki where an anonymous user can read all pages but a few ones.

I've seen there is an array called $wgWhitelistRead where you can say what pages can be viewed when an anonymous user can not view all pages. Thus, this is exactle tne inverse I need.

I've made a patch for includes/Title.php, that allows to view all pages to an anonymous user but the few ones called in $wgBlacklistRead.

(the patch is from mediawiki-1.4.5, but it's easy to port, I suppose)

The diff -u outputs, if anyone thinks it may be interesting:

Remember this is for mediawiki-1.4.5, and this is the first time I send code to an open-source project
