Thread:Extension talk:Lockdown/Problem with mw 1.17

I have used Lockdown with mw 1.15 and 1.16 with no problems. I upgraded a 1.15 to 1.17 with the correct extension version. Editing is configured to logged in users. Logged in as sysop I could not edit at all. Removing lockdown and leaving all other extensions all was fine. I set up a clean mw 1.17. Just added require Lockdown extension and sysop has no ability to see extra special pages. This is similar to comments below. Adding the patch below allows sysop to see the extra pages - 'User rights management'. However until the line $wgSpecialPageLockdown['Userrights'] = array('sysop', 'bureaucrat'); is added it is still impossible to use that page and set rights it says you do not have the right. Following that it now seems to work as expected. New namespaces can be locked to sysop and project can be locked to sysop.

There really does seem to be a fundamental problem with this extension and mw 1.17. This is a lot to work out for a simple install. Some indication should go in the main Lockdown extension page and hopefully an updated download for mw 1.17 produced.
