And I've made many friends here; thank you. I'll remain [[User:Sumanah]] in any volunteer work I do onwiki.

Re: [Wikitech-l] Making only some of the pages editable by all
I did try to create a new namespace used $wgNamespaceProtection $wgNamespaceProtection[NS_WIKIMEETUPS] = array( '*' ); but it is not allowing *anyone* to edit the new namespace, not even the sysops. Any help is much appreciated.

[Wikitech-l] Making only some of the pages editable by all
Hi, Apologies if this is a wrong forum to ask this doubt. We have a private installation of Mediawiki at http://wiki.wikimedia.in Currently we have enabled all pages editable only by email autoconfirmed users, due to heavy spam attacks. While having that as a global setting, can we have some pages editable by all ( even IP users) via some settings. A practical use for us would we , all pages under http://wiki.wikimedia.in/WikiMeetups/ Can anyone help us ? - Tinu Cherian ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
