How to set it so guests can view namespaces when clicking the wiki tab?

I currently have my guest permissions set up like so:

Guests can view threads in namespace forums
Guests cannot view thread content in namespace forums

But as a guest, when I click on my "Wiki" tab (www.fictionpost.com/writing), they are only able to view Special and Necessary pages. They are not able to view the various populated namespaces.

Is there some way I can correct this?
 
Ah, I see also that:
Can View Thread Content, and Can View Others' Threads
must be enabled for guests or they will not be able to see the wiki. The thinking behind this was not to show the user links to anything they wouldn't be able to open (it tends to annoy them).

If you want to show everyone the links anyway, you would have to change vault/factory/special/search.php. Find:
Code: 
					if (!$vault->permissions->check_namespace_perms($namespace['forumid'], $vbulletin->userinfo['userid']))
					{
						continue;
					}
I suppose you would want to simply remove that section of code.

Thanks pegasus - I likely will just remove that code, since my namespaces are rigorously controlled, and I would like all links to show to guests, but thread content to be blocked. Since I don't use my wiki as a wiki, but as an article-system, for my specific purposes, it may increase registrations. Thanks - will report back.
