Is there a way to display the login page when a user accesses your wiki. For example, when somebody goes to http://yourwiki.com they are forwarded to the main page (http://yourwiki.com/index.php/Main_Page). Is there a way to display the page http://yourwiki.com/index.php?title=Special:Userlogin instead of the main page? I want my users to login first before seeing anything.
The page title in MediaWiki:Mainpage will be set as the main page, so you can put Special:Userlogin there. This won't actually force people to log in, though: It'll just prompt them to if they visit yourwiki.com. If you want to force people to log in before they can see anything, take a look at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Preventing_access
