Restricting Access

The best way to restrict access is to create a separate wiki.
However, there do exist extensions to manage access at the page-level.
See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:Page_specific_user_rights_extensions
One such extension is Semantic ACL which requires Semantic Mediawiki.

TODO

• Find a way to insert text files into mediawiki (either via upload or as text).
  • These should be downloadable with a link.
  • Bonus if .js files and WebGL shaders can be made runnable.
