$wgWhitelistWrite

Hello,
I've set my wiki to be not read- and writeable for not logged-in users:
> $wgGroupPermissions['*']['read'] = false;
>$wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false;

My read-whitelist I've managed with
> $wgWhitelistRead = array (...)

The thing is that afaik there's no
> $wgWhitelistWrite
but I need such a whitelist.

In my wiki, there are three areas:
1) Not read- and writeable for group *
2) Only readable for group *
3) Read- and writeable for group *

I've tried to manage this with EditSubpages extension but it didn't
work, it just showed me confusing "header already set" warnings.
So: Are there other ways to manage this constellation?

Cheers
Dauerbaustelle

You can't make part of the wiki writable if you want other parts to be
non-readable since people can simply tranclude the pages they're not
meant to be able to view into the page they're allowed to edit using
{{:Article name}}.

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8462 is about this and
was closed as wontfix.

This is exactly why for the purposes of our work wiki, we had to implement
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WhiteList. However, please note the
giant disclaimer at the top of the extension page. This is not a perfect
solution. However, given the alternative it works much better :-)
