How exactly could that be abused?

I don't see how this can work with the parser cache. The Lua code runs once every time the page is purged. The result is then shown to everyone. The code does not run per user. I assume you would still want to show the link to users who actually do have the right to edit. -- Daniel Kinzler Principal Software Engineer, MediaWiki Platform Wikimedia Foundation _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
