Check usage (experimental)

The PrivatePageProtection extension implements a way to restrict access to specific pages using a parser function. Using that parser function, the user groups that should have access to the page can be listed directly in the page.

Usage

To restrict access to a page, use the allow-groups function:

{{#allow-groups:sysop}}

would restrict access to the sysop group.

{{#allow-groups:autoconfirmed|emailconfirmed}}

restricts access to members of the autoconfirmed and emailconfirmed groups.

Note: Note that user can not save a page which restricts access to groups the user does not belong to. That is, users can not lock themselves out of pages.

Installation

1. Download the files from SVN or download a snapshot (select your version of MediaWiki)
2. Create a directory PrivatePageProtection in your $IP/extensions directory.
3. Add the files to that $IP/extensions/PrivatePageProtection directory.
4. Add to the end of LocalSettings.php:

   require_once("$IP/extensions/PrivatePageProtection/PrivatePageProtection.php");
   

5. Installation can now be verified through Special:Version on your wiki
