Request a Space
To request a custom Namespace (like BX or PhiX), contact admin-at-bx.psu.edu, and include the name of the namespace, and possibly a short alias for use when creating links to pages within that namespace.
Who Can View this Wiki?
Right now, the base permissions allow anyone to view, but only a member of the bxadmins group to make any changes. Access to any given page, category, or namespace is governed by the ACL (Access Control List) specified on that page, category, or Namespace:ACL page.
Access Control Lists
ACLs are provided by the MediaWiki ACL Extension, which is a custom extension written in-house specifically for this wiki, but generic enough to be used by other sites.
In general, ACLs are specified using the <acl></acl> tags within a page, category, or Namespace:ACL page.
ACLs are of the form:
<acl>user bits, group, bits, ...</acl>
