Required configuration
In order for users to be intercepted, they must have the createpage
right, must not have the createinmainns
right, the page they are trying to create must be in the main namespace (and not yet exist) and the page pointed to by $wgArticleCreationLandingPage
must exist.
For example, to intercept page creation for unregistered and non-autoconfirmed
users (refer to Manual:User rights for more options):$wgGroupPermissions['*']['createpagemainns'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['user']['createpagemainns'] = false;
The default value of $wgArticleCreationLandingPage
is "Project:Article wizard".
This page must be created to intercept page creation for these users.
Configuration settings
$wgArticleCreationLandingPage
(string): the name of the wiki page to which users should be redirected if intercepted.$wgUseCustomLandingPageStyles
(bool): Whether to load custom CSS for the landing page.
User right
The extension adds a new user right called createpagemainns
which permits users to create new pages in the main namespace.
This right is given by default to all users.
Users without this right are prohibited from creating main namespace pages, and when they attempt to (by clicking on a red link, for example) they're redirected to the Article Creation Workflow landing page.
