I do want to give all logged-in users the right to protect a page. My understanding is that this setting does not impact who can edit a protected page. It asks you for that when you protect the page, and I tell it that I only want sysops to be able to edit the page, but it's allowing anyone to edit the page if they're logged in despite the fact that it shows a message on the edit screen saying that only sysops can edit because it's protected. And when I edit a protected page as a sysop or a logged-in user, it never forces me to unprotect the page.
Just to test, I commented out the line you listed below and this caused the Protect tab to disappear for logged-in users that are not sysops, which is not what I'm looking for. I've found some listings on the web about the editprotect setting which I have included below, but this doesn't seem to affect anything. $wgGroupPermissions['*']['editprotected'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['user']['editprotected'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['editprotected'] = true; Mike Kingery Director of Technical Services Health Level Seven International +1 (919) 636-4032 -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Benjamin Lees Sent: Sunday, August 01, 2010 8:34 AM To: MediaWiki announcements and site admin list Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] Protect tab not working the way I expected On Sun, Aug 1, 2010 at 12:16 AM, Michael Kingery (HL7) <[email protected]> wrote: > No, I don't think it's not a wrong message, it's not working correctly. > It is correctly telling me that the page is protected; the problem is > that it's still letting me edit the page despite that.

You gave all logged-in users the right to edit protected page with this line: $wgGroupPermissions['user']['protect'] = true; Remove that line if that's not what you want. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
