Hi
You might try protecting your content page and not assigning cascading
protection so users could edit talk pages

Hi

I want only admins to be able to edit content, but anyone to be able to post
to talk pages - is there a way to control edit rights for talk pages
differently from content pages?

Thanks in advance for any help

Derrick

Thanks - that would work, but I want this to apply to all content pages, not
just certain ones, so I'd rather the protection didn't have to be done
manually for each content page. I was hoping that there would be something I
could add to LocalSettings.php which would mean that only admins can edit
content pages, while anyone can edit talk pages - or perhaps there is an
extension to achieve this.

This is sort of kludgy but you could give your admins Sysop privilege,
then have them protect each article via the protect tab after they
initially create the article, which prevents all but Sysops from editing
it. The talk page for that article should still be editable by regular
(non-Sysop) users.
