It's done now. In order to protect a page from editing with a password, you do as follows:
* Go to the page, with '?action=attr' appended to the URL, e.g. http://wiki.lyx.org/Layouts.SongbookInstall?action=attr Then you'll see fields where you can set a password, and in this case we want to set the password for 'edit'. Set the password to the same password we use for other protected pages. * Finally, if you have shell access to the server, modify the file: /home/lyx/www/wiki.lyx.org/passwords.txt and add the name of the page that you just protected to the list of pages that are protected. If you don't have access, just tell me. If you don't know what password to set, ask me or on the list. At the moment we have the drawback we can't change the password in one place and have that change reflected on every page. This could be implemented, but then it'd not be possible for someone without shell access to protect pages.
