RestrictTalk is a MediaWiki extension which provides flexible access management for restricting access to "Talk" namespaces. RestrictTalk is based on the NamespacePermissions Extension.

It uses separate permissions for each action (read, edit, create, move).

[edit] Usage

Add the following to the LocalSettings.php file:

$wgGroupPermissions[ 'user' ][ 'ns1_read' ] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions[ 'user' ][ 'ns1_edit' ] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions[ 'user' ][ 'ns1_create' ] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions[ 'sysop' ][ 'ns1_create' ] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions[ 'user' ][ 'ns3_read' ] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions[ 'user' ][ 'ns3_edit' ] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions[ 'user' ][ 'ns3_create' ] = true;
 
require('extensions/RestrictTalk.php');
