Description Minh Nguyễn 2012-12-20 09:04:51 UTC 
The "Page information" page for any message in the MediaWiki: namespace says that the message can be edited and moved by all users. For example, [[w:MediaWiki:Wikimedia-copyrightwarning]] exists, so <http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Wikimedia-copyrightwarning&action=info> says "Allow all users" for both rights. For a message that doesn't exist, such as [[w:MediaWiki:Is awesome]], the info page says that all users may create the page.

I have a patch mostly written for this, but I'd like bug 43316 to be resolved first so I can properly test it.
Comment 2 Kunal Mehta (Legoktm) 2012-12-22 08:37:08 UTC 
Gerrit change #39845
Comment 3 Nemo 2013-04-16 16:52:23 UTC 
This is the same problem we had with bug 43272: "Allow all users" actually means "Don't disallow any [additional] user", and in fact the message used to read (default).
It's a tricky balancing of clarity and correctness.

Probably it's not a good idea to reuse [[MediaWiki:Protect-default]] in info action, which – to make it worse – is available to all users and not only sysops.
