Hi,
You have such options in your LocalSettings.php:
#$wgEmailConfirmToEdit = true; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false; => account creation is decided only by request to me ;) $wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false; => protect non authenticated users to edit pages $wgGroupPermissions['user']['edit'] = true; => but allow logged in users to edit. # Disable reading by anonymous users #$wgGroupPermissions['*']['read'] = false; => protect non authenticated user to read pages, but causes troubles when you access the wiki just before loggin in It's just a few options I'm actually using, you can be much more precise while configuring rights for your mediawiki:

Just check those configuration settings whose description looks like what you wan't to do.

I am looking to set-up a more "traditional" encyclopedia. While I certainly would welcome submissions, I would rather have some "submit" a potential edit rather than the traditional wiki format of a "free for all" edit. Is there a way to "lock down" mediawiki so that only the administrator (me) can change content? Can submissions be moderated so that they have to be approved by the administrator/moderator prior to posting?
Sorry if this has been discussed before, but I am trying to figure out which way to go...
Best,
Alfredo De La Fe
