We are including mediawiki application into one existing site.
for this we made one wrapper to check the authenticity of the user from
existing site,
We want to allow only two types of users;-
1. which are present into the mediawiki database
2. which are authentic according to our wrapper but new to mediawiki
database
problem is, if someone directly gives mediawiki path to the browser then he
can easily click " create account" and login into mediawiki.
How we prevent this anonymous user to login into mediawiki.

We wish to restrict anonymous views to our
mediawiki installation. Every
unauthorized user is to be redirected to a particular page. This page
may not be a wiki page.
Can we do this using LocalSettings.php?
$wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['read'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['read'] = true;
prevents anonymous users from reading. You can exclude some pages using a
whitelist:
$wgWhitelistRead =
array('Spezial:RequestAccount','Special:RequestAccount','Hauptseite');
If not, do we have any extension/hook for the
very purpose?
