Help:RestrictingAccess

I have installed an extension to MediaWiki (AccessControl Extension)that will allow users to restrict access to a page by providing a list of usernames that are allowed to access a particular page.

To add access restriction to a page, make sure you know the wiki usernames of every person you want to allow to access that page. Then, add a tag like this to the text of the page to be restricted (anywhere on the page is fine, right at the bottom is OK so it's out of the way):

&lt;accesscontrol&gt;Username1,,Username2,,Username3&lt;/accesscontrol&gt;

This will allow the wiki users "Username1", "Username2" and "Username3" to access the page (they will be able to read and write the page). Separate usernames with double commas.

VERY IMPORTANT: MAKE SURE YOU ADD AT LEAST YOUR OWN USERNAME (shown at the top right corner of the wiki page after you're logged in) OR YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO EDIT THE PAGE AFTER SAVING THE CHANGES!
