Created attachment 7002 [details] diff patch In http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki?view=rev&revision=59347 the second parameter (restriction) is missing and should be set to "interwiki". Then the Special Page extension is only shown and executed for users having that permission.

"interwiki" right allows users to edit entries, users without that right can still access the page to see the list of prefixes. Adding this restriction to the constructor would remove the page from Special:SpecialPages even for users able to access it.

I investigated and found a remaining problem (which puzzled me first). This is the text text on Special:Pages still saying for all users "View and edit interwiki data" - which is incorrect for those majority of users without "interwiki" permission. For such users the text need to be "View interwiki data" (without "and edit"). In order not to make it too complicate I suggest: to change the text "View and edit interwiki data" to something neutral like --> "Interwiki data"
Done in r61394.
