Status
editThis module works very well, however there are some limitations and a minor bug:
- Blocked users will be turned away with "The action you have requested is limited to users in one of the groups *, user." This may not be the message you want to send. Patches welcome to fix it. In the meantime, you can simply edit MediaWiki:Badaccess-groups, and change the contents to something even more generic (I.E., You can't perform that action).
- All blocked users will be turned away, keep this in mind.
