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 place the file(s) in a directory called WhitelistPages in your extensions/ folder.
• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php :

  wfLoadExtension( 'WhitelistPages' );
  

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

To users running MediaWiki 1.24 or earlier:

The instructions above describe the new way of installing this extension using wfLoadExtension(). If you need to install this extension on these earlier versions (MediaWiki 1.24 and earlier), instead of wfLoadExtension( 'WhitelistPages' );, you need to use:

require_once "$IP/extensions/WhitelistPages/WhitelistPages.php";

MediaWiki:Public read whitelist should look like:

Main Page

Special:RequestAccount

Page names should have spaces, not underscores between words.
