Mediawiki user control
Posted: November 10th, 2010, 21:32
Halp.
I'm using mediawiki for the rpg I'm making (yes I'm still making it
), and it turned into a big old pit of spam. I've been looking at the various different methods of controlling it, but all the documentation I can find assumes you are using your wiki in the traditional way, with loads of people contributing to it. Thing is, I'm not. At the moment there are only two, maybe three people who need to be able to create/edit pages. It occurs to me that simply not allowing people without accounts to do anything, and then turning off the ability to sign up, my problem would be solved. I can't work out how to do that though.
Tl;dr: how do I...
A) stop people making new accounts
And
B) stop people without accounts doing anything other than read it.
