I don't know the precise answers to the questions you are asking, but some other solutions:
Why not
* Temporarily protect the MediaWiki folder with HTTP authentication? * Use the user rights settings to prevent self-registration, except at times you specify? * Run a small database script to register the students yourself?

Hello everyone,
I am about to get a class of students to register themselves using a MediaWiki wiki. I remember somewhere seeing a patch that only allows people who answer a question with the correct asnwer, register. Does anyone know where this is or know of any other way to only allow a select number of people register to use the system?
