discuss: Thread: Wiki pages to be read-only.

Since, we have 20-30 howtos already imported in the wiki and they all
are with read-write access, I altered the ACL policy to read-only of
the pages imported by me.
But I am not sure if this is enough, I can edit the pages even now.
So, it will be very good if somebody (probably Sergiusz Pawlowicz) can
help in that task.
That pages have to be read-only until we have permission from the
authors to put the documents in GFDL.
This is very easy task, I already put #acl in some pages (have a look
at the recent changes) but I am not sure if that would work properly.
I am only ordinary user, not administrator.

you *are* listed as an admin in the acl config :-)

I had to create an other user, not an admin, to test that. ordinary
user ("known" people) can't write on the page.

#acl ALL:read

is perfectly good :-)

however, we should find a way to makes this obvious. some sort of tag
saying "page restricted for licence reason" or something similar.

I know how to do this for mediawiki, but not yet for Moin :-(
