Hello
I am searching the archives for an answer at the moment, but it’s a pretty long task, so I
thought I would post the question while I searched in case anyone had an answer.
In
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Preventing_Access there is an excellent section
detailing how to restrict read access for a custom namespace to a single group. I am
attempting to modify the same approach so that I can restrict edit access instead.
The idea is that we intend to operate a public wiki, but a small portion of the content is
to be set aside to host the official product documentation. I want this custom namespace
to only permit edit access to members of a custom group.
At first glance, it seems I need to edit Title.php and modify the userCanEdit() function,
but my initial attempts generate some pretty gnarly errors. My PHP skills are VERY novice
level, and I have only been using Wikipedia for a week, so I feel a bit like a bull in a
fine china shop.
Can anyone provide a hint or some pointers?
Thanks
