Topic on Manual talk:Edit.php

Is there a way to make edits to the wiki from the command line that are attributed to specific users but will only make the edits if the user has the correct editing permissions?

I'd like to use this script, but I don't want to override any page locks or user account restrictions in doing so.

This script doesn't check for such restrictions. Looks like you'll have to tell your users to edit the pages directly or use a bot
