Compatibility between Visual Editor and AccessControl
Hello and thank you for your work on AccessControl Extension. I recently installed Visual Editor in order to make mediawiki easier for users and it seems at first sight that it is not compatible with AccessControl. People who have the rights to edit a page can't do it. Server error is returned while it works perfectly on pages that are not concerned by access restrictions. In order to be able to take a decision on whether or not we should continue with AccessControl I need to know if :


 * 1) It is just a configuration concern and if so I would love to know what to do.
 * 2) Access Control is not compatible with Visual Editor yet and it is not planned that it will be soon.
 * 3) Access Control is not compatible with Visual Editor yet but it will be soon.

Regards.

 * Version of extension? What is the name accesslist? How is used accesscontrol tag? Want (talk) 11:35, 24 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the quick response! I'm using version 2.6. The extension works great on protected and normal pages, just doesn't like any Special:* pages. I've tried this on my local and live environments, but getting the same error. Cardcaptor Stacey (talk) 11:46, 24 November 2016 (UTC)


 * This extension is not intended to protect Special pages. But method for protection special pages exist. I use in  (in example):
 * Thanks, but I don't need protection on my Special pages. The extension breaks on my Special pages. See my original post for the error message I get. Cardcaptor Stacey (talk) 10:33, 25 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Try version 2.5.1, what is from me. I don't use 2.6, because any change incorporated into code is problematic for me. I use last development code MediaWiki from git, with my version of AccessControl without any problems.
