Whitelist Pages is a MediaWiki extension that allows site administrators to modify the value of the $wgWhitelistRead global by editing the system message called MediaWiki:Public read whitelist. Whitelisted pages in the MediaWiki:Public read whitelist system message are separated by newlines.

The extension was written by Jack Phoenix and Misza for ShoutWiki.

Installation

• Download and move the extracted WhitelistPages folder to your extensions/ directory.
  Developers and code contributors should install the extension from Git instead, using:cd extensions/
git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/WhitelistPages
• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:

  wfLoadExtension( 'WhitelistPages' );
  

•  Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

MediaWiki:Public read whitelist should look like:

Main Page

Special:RequestAccount

Page names should have spaces, not underscores between words.
