Extension talk:ProtectSource

To protect all pages
If you want to protect all pages, not only protect protected pages, you can comment Line 62~64 in ProtectSource.php. But it will cause Anonymous reading error in MediaWiki:Common.css, so CSS of skins cannot shows correctly. Therefore, the Namespace of MediaWiki cannot be protected by this extension.

My modify is to protect all pages except Namespace of MediaWiki, as following.

Modify In ProtectSource.php

Common.js
Even with this fix, there seem to be problems reading the common.js file (even though it is in the MediaWiki namespace). In particular, the hide/show feature of NavFrame is disabled. Using the original extension code, this does not happen (even on protected pages). Any ideas?


 * Then don't use it? What's the use in protecting ALL pages anyway? --Subfader 15:49, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I am hiding part of the page from anonymous users (with the PrivateBlocks extension) and thus don't want them seeing the source. Eventually most pages will have this, so I don't want to have to manually set a page as protected. Plus, the pages shouldn't really be protected, since any registered users should be able to edit. --Oscarlevin 16:21, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
