I haven't actually tried this, but based on what's on mediawiki.org, the following might do the trick: restrict editing to members of the "autoconfirmed" user group, and set $wgAutoConfirmAge to the desired amount of time (in seconds)[1]. There's also a the "Require Editor Priviledge" extension[2], which apparently restricts editing to a hand-chosen list of users. 1. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgAutoConfirmAge 2. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Require_Editor_Privilege > Anne -- schnee _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
