The custom level code is <pre>$wgGroupPermissions['steward']['steward'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['steward']['protect'] = true $wgGroupPermissions['staff']['steward'] = true; $wgRestrictionLevels = array( '', 'autoconfirmed', 'sysop', 'steward'); $wgRestrictionTypes = array( 'edit', 'move', 'delete' ); </pre> When setting protection to [move:steward,edit:sysop,delete:steward, [CASCADING]] the protection works but doesn't cascade. Please fix, or let me know how to fix. Thanks, Mww113
I think fixing this will require the reversion of r36519.
It would seem so(In reply to comment #1) > I think fixing this will require the reversion of r36519. > Judging that if ($this->mCascade && ($edit_restriction != 'protect') && !(isset($wgGroupPermissions[$edit_restriction]['protect']) && $wgGroupPermissions[$edit_restriction]['protect'] ) ) $this->mCascade = false; that was removed from the code, I would think so
Also, currently you can check the box to cascade, but that only adds a useless protection log entry (if the only change was the failed attempt to add cascade) and not actually sets cascade.
If this is not possible, how about a configuration setting instead of dependency on the protect right. It can be something like $wgCascadeRestrictionLevels and the default can be array(sysop);
Fixing this bug should be as easy as reverting r36519 for now. Although such a setting sounds like a good idea. :)
I don't have the dead [cascade] issue and the JS doesn't let you check it if on as well. At any rate, this is disabled due to the possibility of people transcluding pages to protect them, without protect rights.
