I've wrote a little thing for mediawiki. I need an open wiki where an
anonymous user can read all pages but a few ones.
I've seen there is an array called $wgWhitelistRead where you can say
what pages can be viewed when an anonymous user can not view all pages.
Thus, this is exactle tne inverse I need.
I've made a patch for includes/Title.php, that allows to view all pages
to an anonymous user but the few ones called in $wgBlacklistRead.
(the patch is from mediawiki-1.4.5, but it's easy to port, I suppose)
The diff -u outputs, if anyone thinks it may be interesting:
