Hmm... the extension is tagged with an unmaintained warning template, yet the infobox indicates that it is currently stable... not quite sure what that means.

Although, I will note that you can use AuthorProtect, which is already in ManageWiki, in order to protect pages from everyone except their authors and sysops (or any other group you choose). This extension is already installed and in ManageWiki.

Void removed a project: Extension-Review.

We don't add unmaintained extensions.

AuthorProtect is an option, however, you can also use an AbuseFilter (Special:AbuseFilter) with the following configuration.

(
 article_namespace == 2 &
 !user_name == article_text &
 !"/" in article_text &
 !"sysop" in user_groups
)

Make sure to set it to disallow, and contact me on my talkpage if you're having any issues.

I know that, but I wasn’t sure if it was unmaintained or not because the unmaintained warning template is on the page, but the infobox indicates that the extension is stable.

We usually look at the commit history rather then status of the extension.

Yes, but as I’ve mentioned before, a lack of recent commits does not necessarily mean that the extension is unmaintained. Some extensions just don’t need updates except for core software upgrades, and even then some extensions are designed to flex their way into new core changes without major manual updates to the base code.

The extension doesn’t use an implementation method that’s been around for 7 versions (3 years). Given the uncomplexity of the extension, I wouldn’t call it maintained at this point.

The author as well hasn’t been active for 3 years.
