I need to add a new user type to my local wiki, in

suggests what needs to be changed?
In particular, I want a particular user type to only be able to access
a subset of special pages. MediaWiki already restricts normal users
from accessing some special pages but I want to restrict my new user
from accessing any of the specialpages and user pages except a few
special pages that I will specify. Is there any easy way to do this or
do I have to go through all the existing SpecialPages and check for
access rights?

Hello,
As of version 1.3, you will have to hack the code a lot to implement new
user status.
For 1.4, I am currently writing a new user rights management using
groups and actions being assigned to groups. It's not commited yet as
it's too buggy (only a simple showcases got commited).
cheers,
