whitelist broken
Hi, I've added this to localsettings:

# Invitation-only closed shop type of system
$wgWhitelistEdit = true;
$wgWhitelistRead = array ( ":Main_Page", "Posebno:Userlogin" );
$wgWhitelistAccount = array ( "user" => 0, "sysop" => 1, "developer" =>
1 );

But still anyone can read the pages, even if not logged in.

This happens only on 1.4-beta0

If this doesn't seem to be the right place for such bugs I should go to
where, http://bugzilla.wikipedia.org/ ???

Jure

Yes. And had you followed through on that guess, and searched for
"whitelist", you would have come to
http://bugzilla.wikipedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=996

The problem has been identified as relating to the new permissions
system and is, apparently, being worked on by the developer who wrote
that system.

First, make sure you're up to date with REL1_4 (which should claim to
be 1.4beta1) or HEAD (which should claim to be 1.5alpha).

Note that 1.5 and 1.4 do not currently use the same permissions scheme,
so things may be differently broken in one or the other.

There's already a bug filed to this effect. Please search for it and
add more information, once you've updated your code.

Actually, searching for "whitelist" did not return that result:
http://bugzilla.wikipedia.org/buglist.cgi?content=whitelist

But I noticed that if I go to the first page of the site to search, I
can find it via that form... :S

Enjoy, Jure

Well, fancy that! I guess the two forms default to different
parameters. It was the box in the navbar on the left that I used ("go
to bug#"), which seems to behave the same as the one on the front
page. Sorry if I wrongly accused you of not trying.
