Thread:Extension talk:Lockdown/lockdown for Special namespace/reply (2)

My plan was to put the login,logout and other specific special pages in the $wgWhitelistRead array and then block the Special namespace. Then all the special pages would be blocked to users except a few of them (like login and logout). This approach doesn't seem to work.

I've never studied the php language, but I was able to look at the Lockdown.php file and make sense of it. For my needs, I ended up commenting out the part where pages specified in the $wgWhitelistRead array cannot be denied read acces.
