7 Components: the Function Pages - Developers

$wgExtraNamespaces =
array(100 => "Flying Sparks",
101 => "Flying Sparks_Discussion" );
You must now determine the behavior of the areas by setting two
more variables. In the file includes/DefaultSettings.php you will find
the entries to the variables $wgNamespacesWithSubpages and
$wgNamespacesToBeSearchedDefault. Copy both to LocalSettings.php
and expand the list with the numbers of the new
namespaces. The first variable determines that new pages may be
generated in the namespace, while the second determines whether
the area is to be automatically included in searches:
$wgNamespacesWithSubpages = array(
-1 => 0,
0 => 0,
...
100 => 1,
101 => 1 );
$wgNamespacesToBeSearchedDefault = array(
-1 => 0,
0 => 1,
...
100 => 1,
101 => 1 );
Using this procedure, you can add up to 156 of your own namespaces
in your wiki.
The file LocalSettings.php also contains information regarding
who may view and modify the pages of the wiki. Granting permissions
in MediaWiki is done according to the whitelist principle. This
means that all pages that cannot be freely accessed are put on a list
(the whitelist) and cannot be viewed or edited. If there is no whitelist,
there are no limits. There is also a list for user accounts. Individuals
on that list have the right to establish new user accounts. In
the default setting, which is not specifically listed, every user,
whether logged in or not, may perform any task. The necessary parameters
are set as follows:
$wgWhitelistEdit = false;
$wgWhitelistRead = false;
$wgWhitelistAccount = array ( "user" => 1,
"sysop" => 1, "developer" => 1 );
