Since it sound like you *know* who will be editing, the easiest way to
do this is set the wiki to read only without account
In localsettings.php set this. If not already there copy over from
defaultsettings.php
$wgGroupPermissions ['*']['edit']=false
Then you create user login for those who can edit.
If you need login abilities to everyone then you could change the level
that gets to edit .. again using $wgGroupPermissions

Subject: [Mediawiki-l] Write Permission Limitations [was Re:
Wiki-widePassword?]
I suppose I should back up and explain what functionality I really need.
I'd like the wiki to be world-readable, but I need to limit who can edit
pages. This is a blanket statement: only very certain users should be
able to do any editing at all.
