[Mediawiki-l] restricting editing to a group of users

[Alistair Johnson]

With 1.3.x protect those pages and give the users you want to have editing
permission sysop privileges.  I think 1.4rc is the same.

There seems to be a bunch of development plans for security in the 1.5
release.

Subject: [Mediawiki-l] restricting editing to a group of users


Hello, I have an installation that gives open read privileges but requires 
login to edit...

i.e.:
$wgWhitelistEdit = true;
$wgWhitelistRead = false;
$wgWhitelistAccount = array ( "user" => 0, "sysop" => 1, "developer" => 1 );

What I would like to do is occasionally close editing on a page or two to
all 
but a specific list of registered users. Any way to do that in 
LocalSettings.php and maintain my existing access scheme for the rest of the

site?
