: How to allow MediaWiki non-users to only read some wiki pages related login and account creation? I've created a BlueSpice MediaWiki site that I only want visible to users that are logged in.

I've created a BlueSpice MediaWiki site that I only want visible to users that are logged in. This works fine by creating Read permission only for Users as described here.

All this works fine until I try and add two-factor authentication, which when logging in, goes to a second page to get the token at wiki.domain.com/index.php/Special:TwoFactorAuth/auth but this page fails to load due to no read permission:


Please log in to view other pages.


So how can I make this one page special and readable by all?

A similar issue exists for the special page wiki.domain.com/index.php/Special:RequestAccount that gets added with the ConfirmAccount extension, so more generally, a set of special pages needs to be readable when not logged in, and the remaining that show information such as page names and user names should not be readable.
