I can understand your concern, however I think it would not be that big
of a problem. There are several mechanisms provided by MediaWiki which
let you restrict the access to a specialpage.
First of all, you can mark the special page as unlisted, which means it
will not appear on Special:Specialpages. Users will only be able to
access this page if they know it exists.
Furthermore you can restrict the access to a page to certain user
groups. Use WikiSysop here and there shouldn't be a problem with
unintended use (as long as your sysops know what they do ;-) )
Putting your script on a specialpage would imho be a good solution
because this might be a job that has to get done many times, and in that
case the specialpage-solution is simply much more convenient than the
command-line script.
Cheers,
Markus

Betreff: Re: [Semediawiki-user] Script to refresh all semantic data
That might be a good idea, and you're right, it wouldn't be that hard to
create.
My one concern is that this might be an unintended usage of the wiki
interface. For whatever reason, there isn't that much admin
functionality available through the web browser: you can manage users
and delete pages, but that's about it. All of the other admin
functionality gets put into command-line scripts in the "maintenance"
directory, both in MW and SMW. I don't know if that's by design, or
that's just how things turned out. Does anyone know?
