This means that for this purpose of checking exactly one pagename
against a pattern of excluded and included page names, if no included
page names are in the pattern it means including all pages (except the
excluded pages).
echo (boolean)MatchPageNames('Forum.Test','-PmWiki.*,-Site.*,Main.*');
will return nothing, but
echo (boolean)MatchPageNames('Forum.Test','-PmWiki.*,-Site.*');
will return 1.
Hmmm, this is unexpected. It also means for Fox that to give a default
pattern of excluded pages only will allow Fox to post to all other
pages by default. Until one or more including patterns are added, and
then Fox will be restricted to post to pages matching these.
I would find it more logical if the absence of an inclusive pattern
means no match. How can I achieve that?
