[Mediawiki-l] Protected pages - privileged editors

[Bill Taylor]

Is there a way to create a class of users or class of pages that can 
only be edited by a few people?

I want to insert a set of documents into my wiki that really needs to 
be static, except for minor changes from time to time.  The people 
that will do this work will need access to the wiki as a whole.  But 
most wiki users should see these documents as protected.  The people 
editing the protected documents do not need to be general site admins.

How can I set this up?

thanks

Bill
