[edit] What does the parameter "-" mean?
Does somebody know what page the parameter "-" refers to? See code below:
- $wgWhitelistRead = array( "Special:Userlogin", "-", "MediaWiki:Monobook.css" );

- Hi I just asked in the IRC and got the following response from user nekudayims: used to be a special page that loaded user CSS/JS customizations and such. Thus this is superseded starting with 1.17.+ Cheers --[[kgh]] 19:50, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
[edit] non ascii characters
Hi,
How do you manage to get somes pages in $wgWhitelistRead with non ascii characters, like é, à etc. When setting up a MW1.8.2, adding "Actualités" to $wgWhitelistRead does not work, as well as Actualit%C3%A9s or Actualites.
Thank you for your help Florent
- "Actualités" should work (the others don't) - but you have to make sure you save the LocalSettings.php file as UTF-8, not in Latin-1 or whatever is the default on your system. Note that when saving as UTF-8, some editors may insert invisible characters, as so called BOM, at the start of the file - which will confuse PHP and lead to "headers already sent" warnings. -- Duesentrieb ⇌ 11:20, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] add help namespace
How can I add the whole help-namespace to the whitelist? I want anonymous users to be able to see the startpage, the loggin page and the articles in the help namespace.
- Look at WhitelistedNamespaces, an extension that allows you to do just that. --Lhridley 07:07, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
[edit] other language setting
If you have change the default language in wgLanguageCode = "XX"; from en to an other language you must take change the name of the site for userlogin.
In english special:UserLogin
In german spezial:UserLogin
I hope, it will help
[edit] $wgWhitelistRead isn't working
I copied some Localsettings code from this site, and for the longest time I couldn't get $wgWhitelistRead or $wgWhitelistEdit to work
$wgWhitelistRead[] = array( "Special:Connect", "Special:Userlogin", "Special:Userlogout" );
I just found the problem, however, and figured I would document it here in case this problem trips up anyone else. The line of code should read:
$wgWhitelistRead = array( "Special:Connect", "Special:Userlogin", "Special:Userlogout" ); ## (no [])

- This was rectified in the meantime. Thank you for your hint. Cheers --[[kgh]] 19:41, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Multiple Lines
I've got a long list of pages (about 30) to white list. (How) Can I break up this list over multiple lines? --Robinson Weijman 07:45, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
- Answering my own question - the return character works well! Just like this:
- "one", "two", "three",
- "four", "five"
- Obvious, really. --Robinson Weijman 08:14, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
[edit] Read only?
Is there a way to whitelist a page for editing as well as reading? Say, if I have a wiki that permits editing by only logged in users, but I want certain pages to be editable by anyone regardless of whether or not they are a registered user? Fordmadoxfraud 23:28, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
