Topic on Extension talk:Lockdown

I've installed Lockdown to restrict the special namespace to sysop and cm user groups, but when testing it, it doesn't seem to work.

My LocalSettings.php contains the following:

wfLoadExtension( 'Lockdown' );

$wgNamespacePermissionLockdown[NS_SPECIAL]['*'] = [ 'sysop', 'cm' ];

Any advise? Thanks

Same here.

• Namespaces documented at Manual:Namespace_constants
• Lockdown extension version 86d9ad6
• MediaWiki version 1.39.5

Tried:

$wgNamespacePermissionLockdown[NS_SPECIAL]['*'] = [ 'user' ];

Perhaps is there some way to do a loop to every special page (from what array?) and set $wgSpecialPageLockdown for them.

This works for me to make special pages disappear to anonymous users:

$wgHooks['SpecialPage_initList'][] = function ( &$list ) {
	$PagesWhiteList = array('Userlogin', 'PasswordReset', 'Categories', 'Tags', 'Search', 'Captcha');
	foreach ($list as $PageName => $PageSpecs) {
		if (!in_array($PageName, $PagesWhiteList) && RequestContext::getMain()->getUser()->isAnon()) {
			unset( $list[$PageName] );
		}
	}
	return true;
};
