Hi all, Thanks for all the responses. I suppose I'll try the Collection extension for now unless someone knows of a slick solution. Martin, I agree about a Wiki not being a CMS and I'm not thrilled to be trying to limit access, but it's only a really small subset of the articles. I am running

Yes, but the info box also states 1.23 - 1.26. So there is a version constraint for stable. This is however just a side note. I believe the extension as such is "fixed" now however MediaWiki core has an issue since REL1_27 that makes it not working at a 100 percent. I am on my knees begging for a

Please note that the mediawiki devs have two positions, completely open, or completely closed wiki. Mediawiki was never intended to be a CMS which is why most access control extensions are hacks and work ok at best, and are not given as much scrutiny/review as other systems On Tue, Dec 26, 2017

Just echoing what Chris said below, although I do know of at least one exception. https://mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:AccessControl still technically works with MediaWiki 1.26+, however it is known to be far from perfect at accomplishing its goal and to potentially have serious flaws that

Martin, A quick note: The Lockdown extension has not worked since Mediawiki 1.26. If I’m not mistaken almost all the access restriction extensions no longer work (several of the older extensions, like Lockdown & SemanticACL, were good at access restrictions). The philosophy that a wiki must be

Just a note, because it may not be clear from what I written above. This will require a) having the shared content public b) having the external users accounts on the wiki. I beleive that you was asked for account-removing because they should not have access to the entrie wiki, but only to limited

Hello, just a info: MediaWiki is not a CMS but a Wiki. This may be not 100% secure but it should work. You may want to have a look at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Lockdown . Best, Martin Urbanec (cs.wikipedia) út 26. 12. 2017 v 22:39 odesílatel Bryan Hilderbrand

2017-12-26 Thread Bryan Hilderbrand
Hi all, I have a question that may be similar to G. Moko's post on December 19th regarding "Dump of Recent Changes". I have a private enterprise wiki that currently has some external users that have been granted read-only access. I have been asked to remove these external users from the wiki,
