Bug ID: 54081
Summary: Add a $wgNamespaceCascade similar to the deprecated
$wgEnableCascadingProtection
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General/Unknown
Assignee: [email protected]

Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
It would be good to have an option to disable cascading protection in a
specific namespace in certain cases. For example: If it was wanted to create
a new "special group only namespace", then cascading protection on pages in
that namespace would be fruitless or counter-productive.
The ability to add something like:
$wgAvailableRights[] = 'editmyarea';
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['editmyarea'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['myarea_editor']['editmyarea'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['editmyarea'] = true;
function myareaAddNamespaces( &$list ) {
$list[NS_MYAREA] = 'MyArea';
$list[NS_MYAREA_TALK] = 'MyArea_talk';
return true;
}
$wgNamespaceProtection[NS_MYAREA] = array( 'editmyarea' );
$wgNamespaceCascade[NS_MYAREA] = false;
Would allow the extension to create a new userright that would be given to a
new usergroup and sysop for a new namespace that can be inclusively edited by
any editor with the new right or sysops and ignore cascading protection.
I could see this used for extensions like [[mw:Extension:Widgets]] or
[[mw:Extension:Scribunto]] and likely others.
