Read Only but able to comment on Talk page

Hi all,

I have configured the Wiki to only allow registered users to read the content. A special group then has Edit permissions.

This is all good, but what we would like is for all registered users to be able to comment on the Talk page, but not edit the main page. Does anyone know of a way to achieve this?

Version Details: MediaWiki 1.18.0 PHP 5.3.9 (apache2handler) MySQL 5.5.19

For creating talk pages we can solve it with this:

$wgGroupPermissions['user']['createtalk'] = true;

But, otherwise I think the best idea would to be digging deeper into the code; I'd suggest add a namespace, or use LiquidThreads (what you are using right now).


Otherwise, there is no compromise and MediaWiki is not for you. More otherwises? Ask for an extension that achieves this at Extension requests.
