Here's the basic information about my install:
MediaWiki 1.12.0
PHP 5
Database MySQL
What I'm looking to do is to allow any user with edit permissions to be
able to Protect a page so that only Sysops are able to edit / unprotect
it. To do this I turned on the Protect tab with the following code in
the LocalSettings.php file:
# Only allow users and sysops to protect a page
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['protect'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['user']['protect'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['protect'] = true;
The Protect tab does show up now, and you can protect a page, but when
ANYONE with edit privileges goes to edit they are able to do so
regardless of unprotecting the page or being a sysop. When editing, it
does show the following message, but lets you edit and save anyways:
WARNING: This page has been locked so that only users with sysop
privileges can edit it.
Any thoughts?
