The AuthorProtect extension allows page authors to protect pages from non-authors on a page-by-page basis. Authors with the 'authorprotect' permission will gain a protect tab on pages that gives them (author) access to this interface. Because logs and anonymous users don't mix very well (as with the fact that all anonymous users share the same user id), anonymous users are unable to use this extension regardless of if they have the 'authorprotect' right or not.

Installation

• Download and move the extracted AuthorProtect 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/AuthorProtect
• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:

  wfLoadExtension( 'AuthorProtect' );
  

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