[Mediawiki-l] Page access restiction

[Sechan, Gabe]

It shouldn't be too hard, I'm working on a similar hack myself (mine is slightly more complicated, as I want to give some groups read permission, some read-write, and each page can have more than 0-n groups in each.  In other words, Unix style rw permission on pages).  All you really need is a page to add people to groups (by adding them to the user_groups table), and you need to mark down the group of the editor in the table when you first create the page- either a new field in the table or in the page_restrictions field.  Then change the Title::userCanEdit function to check if $wgUser is in the same group.  If not, return false  otherwise process as normal.  I think that ought to be sufficient to do it.

The simple answer is no, not with the current software, and to be honest, it's almost guaranteed it will never support what you describe. You can either hack the software yourself, or you can search for an extension to do what you ask.

http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:MediaWiki_extensions might be a good starting point; remember also Google is your friend.
