Hello all,
I'm using Mediawiki 1.3.9 to run a personal wiki, and I've disabled anonymous editing. However, there are a couple articles which I'd like to allow users who are not logged in to edit. Is this possible and if so how could I accomplish it?

Not possible. Preventing anonymous user to edit block them for ALL articles.

Perhaps you could protect all pages apart from those that are anon-editable and give all logged in users sufficient privileges to edit protected pages? Bit of a hack, but it might work for some specific cases.

This is what I am doing on my wikis, such as http://www.nerdypc.org

Wouldn't I have to each new page to the config file by hand in that case?

Hmm, good point. Then you'll just have to hack it into the source somewhere, I've been reading around and it's not half as messy as some people say. Poke me for help on wikipedia or via email tomorrow evening if you have trouble figuring out how to do it and we can have trouble figuring out how to do it together.

No. "Protection" is an action performed by anyone with (in all current versions of MediaWiki) "sysop" status, through the normal web interface - see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Administration and linked pages for a few further clues about this. [Basically, if you are logged in with sysop privileges, you should see an extra tab above articles marked "protect" or "unprotect".]

I think he means that each newly created page would have to be manually set to protected, which would indeed be a nuisance.
