Ben,
Here are a couple of interesting leads:
1. Page access restriction with Wiki (using namespaces)
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Hidden_pages
2. ...need to be restricted to certain users (things like payroll/budget
information, or staffing discussions) - Note: this solution in my opinion may
be cumbersome on the admin side since ACL is file based and done a per page
basis
http://blog.epistemographer.com/?p=238
3. But this is what you really want... (It being a patch should not be an
issue, many folks are using it)
[description snippet]...I made a patch to enable page restriction under the
MediaWiki software. Pages can be articles or categories. It adds a new
|restrict| tab link allowing members of the group restrict to restrict pages.
Users member of the group viewrestrict can read (and modify) the restricted
pages. Other users cannot see, search, export, etc, the restricted pages. You
can still |protect| them for editing. A restricted page is distinguished by a
red background tab, and you have a special page (Special:Restrictedpages) to
list the restricted pages.

Check http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Setting_user_rights_in_MediaWiki
In 1.4.x you can use:
# Specify who can edit: true means only logged in users may edit pages
$wgWhitelistEdit = true;
# Specify who may create new accounts: 0 means no, 1 means yes
$wgWhitelistAccount = array ( 'user' => 0, 'sysop' => 1, 'developer' => 1 );
To limit user creation to specified groups (yourself only for instance) and
limit editing rights to users with accounts.
Al.

re: peswiki.com, a mediawiki-based site.
I am currently (past 2 hours) under a highly aggressive, computerized

the code includes the string "wikitikitavi"
I don't know how to globally shut of the "edit" function for my site.
If one of you knows how to do this, could you contact me immediately by

Hello.
I started a wiki about Tina Turner. I managed to create a new page when somebody searches something and can't find it.
But then they are directed to the index.php and that is not what I want.
For instance, when I search for "bogo" it says: doesnot exist, will you create new article? Abd is you hit that button you get a blank page, index.php , that you then can edit. I want however, that a new page is created with the name of "bogo" and that you can edit that then.
Where and how do I do that? Which files do I edit?
My Tinapedia is at:
http://www.tina-turner.nl/EasyPHP1-8/www/mediawiki-1.4.9/index.php/Main_Page
Thanks!

Hi,
I've got an in-house setup of mediawiki with two teams using one setup.
Each has their own namespace set up to dump their knowledge into. This
works well for letting each team limit their search to their area of
knowlege, but I'd also like to stop users cross-posting into the other's
namespace.
I realise this isn't in the wiki spirit or what it's primarily intended
for but for our environment it would be nice... :-)
I've seen this bug report (really an enhancement):
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1924
I'd sooner not patch with something this untested. Are there any other
options?
Many thanks,
Ben.

Didn't have that installed in the first place. I'll have to figure out
how to use gdb and hope that points me in the right direction. Thanks
for the help.

I am trying to migrate my existing Mediawiki installation to a server
running the following:
Apache 2.0.52
PHP 5.0.5
MySQL 4.1.10a
RedHat ES4
The installation goes fine, but one I try to go to the main page,
nothing happens. I get the following in the apache error_log:
[notice] child pid 1449 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
I have numerous other php based sites running on the same setup and they
run without issue. I have tried the latest versions of the 1.3, 1.4,
and 1.5 branches, all with the same results.
Ideas?

I was supposed to add this line to LocalSettings.php wasn't I? Feeling slightly foolish now. Works a treat, and now I know what I am looking for I see it is even documented at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/LocalSettings.php
Thanks Brion

Fix your web server's configuration so it thinks it has the hostname you
want it to think it has, or override MediaWiki's $wgServer to use what
you want instead of what the web server is reporting to it.
