I would like il.wikimeida.org to have the (1) NamespacePermissions extension and the (2) email notification extention. (3) Also, for the NamespacePermissions purposes, I need a new namespace named " דף פנימי" and it's talk page named "שיחת דף פנימי" - these will be restricted pages. (4) I would also like to know how I can give/take permissions to read/write these pages. (5) Can the search of these pages be cancelled? (6) Can we cancel "Special:AllPages"? (7) In fact, the talk page of the NamespacePermissions extension looks like it is full of problems. Perhaps it is possible to block read access of all talk pages for unregistered users and to allow registers users to read and write in it. (8) In any case - the basic desire is to have a set of pages where the board members can talk freely about internal issues. IRC, chats and emails are not convenient for his purpose. Any other ideas will also be appreciated :-) Yoni
Wikimedia sites don't usually use the advanced read permissions (apart from internal wikis, e.g. grants.wikimedia.org), and this might be the reason Rob set this bug to be WONTFIX. Note that a mailing list is much more useful for that purpose, and the foundation wiki site isn't for discussions.
Well, we have some technophobes who cant/wont use IRC/email/mailling lists for discussions. Plus, mailling lists might be a usefull English, but in Hebrew everyone gets gibberish all the time, and we can have a decent discussion this way. Our chapter site *is* made also for discussions, and that is where we would like to have them. Everyone involved in the IL chapter already know mediawiki software, and we already know it works fine with Hebrew. I would like to hear from Rob what he has to say. Yoni
