Patches on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Lockdown/hiding_pages and talk page should finally land the actual code. In principle it's easy, there are just two concepts: 1) given a page, if its namespace is restricted for the current user, restrict it; 2) given a list of namespaces, remove those restricted for the current user. Two functions which need to be called on a dozen places in core. Daniel, I plan to submit two patches against core to add AbortAccessNamespace and <something> as hooks and then two in Lockdown with those two functions attached to the two hooks. Of course there are semi-infinite complications but it's easier to discuss with some code on gerrit.
