[Mediawiki-l] Only article authors can edit their articles

[Dave Sigafoos]

There are times when this might come in handy.  The other admin and I
have some articles where we place some *sensitive* information that we
don't want for the general readership.  (knowing the only real safe
place is on a waded piece of paper in an old pair of shorts in the
bottom of the dresser .. we leave out critical information).

In a case like this we want to simply remove read and or edit rights for
that specific piece of information.

That does not mean that 99% of the wiki does now work as a wiki.  Just
simpler to use same tool for storage.

You are actually asking, "How do I make MediaWiki not be a wiki?"

It sounds like MediaWiki is the wrong tool for your purposes.

Is it possible to setup Mediwiki so that only a person who creates an
article to be able to edit that corresponding article and that it is
locked for others?
