[Bass, Joshua L]

Is this the code for 1.5?

Here's my (very very hacky) way of doing it:

Edit includes/EditPage.php.
After these lines
		if ( !$wgUser->isAllowed('edit') ) {
			if ( $wgUser->isAnon() ) {
				$this->userNotLoggedInPage();
				return;
			} else {
				$wgOut->readOnlyPage(
$this->mArticle->getContent( true ), true );
				return;
			}
		}
(about line 185) add these lines:
		$this->mArticle->fetchContent();
		if ( !$wgUser->isSysop() &&
$this->mArticle->mTitle->getNamespace()
== NS_USER &&
		     $wgUser->getName() !=
$this->mArticle->mTitle->getText() )
                {
		    $wgOut->readOnlyPage ($this->mArticle->getContent
(true), true);
		    return;
		}
Hope this helps.
