Multiple Protection Levels

Multiple Protection Levels

Hello

I know the basics of using $wgRestrictionLevels and $wgGroupPermissions to create multiple protection levels, but getting exactly what I'm after is a bit tricky.

I want three protection levels, one for each of my user groups:

• Moderators
  

Can be edited by Moderators, Administrators and Bureaucrats

Only Bureaucrats can apply this level of protection

• Administrators
  

Can be edited only by Administrators and Bureaucrats

Both Administrators and Bureaucrats can apply this level of protection

• Bureaucrats
  

Can be applied and edited only by Bureaucrats

The trouble that I'm having is with the Moderator level, as giving Administrators the right to "protect" pages automatically gives them the right to protect all levels that they can edit - I can't find a way to allow them to edit the Moderators level without being able to apply it.

So, if what I'm asking for is possible, could you please provide me with the code to set this up (all of it, I would rather be safe and be given all of the code, than just ask for the part about the Moderators level and assume I can work the rest around it).

MediaWiki version: 1.16.0

Thanks!

Hi there,

Unfortunately, this feature has not been implemented in MediaWiki. You'll probably need to implement it yourself -- the best places to look are includes/ProtectionForm.php and in includes/api/ApiProtect.php. That's where the protect/unprotect interfaces (both API and web) are implemented.
