Extension:SecureProperties

If you need per-page or partial page access restrictions, you are advised to install an appropriate content management package. MediaWiki was not written to provide per-page access restrictions, and almost all hacks or patches promising to add them will likely have flaws somewhere, which could lead to exposure of confidential data. We are not responsible for anything being leaked, leading to loss of funds or one's job. For further details, see Security issues with authorization extensions |

Dependencies [edit]
Installation [edit]

Other Extensions From the same author [edit]
Consult User Jldupont's page.
- ↑ The most recent release is always available through the extension's PEAR and SVN repositories. This page is not necessarily up-to-date.
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 2.2 Extension:ExtensionManager does not require any modification to LocalSettings.php because ExtensionManager includes the extension.
Note that if PHP code caching is in place (e.g. APC, eAccelerator), then to successfully complete the installation a cache flush might be needed. - ↑ Modifications to
LocalSettings.phpis only necessary if not using Extension:ExtensionManager
History [edit]
- added '#gg' and '#gs' magic words
- Removed dependency on ExtensionClass
- Added '#cg' and '#cs' to deal with static properties in classes
- Added 'addExemptNamespaces' function
Todo [edit]
- Fix for 'exempt' namespaces option even considering StubManager
