I have v.1.7.1.
Can I set up MediaWiki so that requests to register are sent to me so I can approve the registration?
It's not really set up to do that easily. If you want to, per some conversations a month or so ago on the list, you may want to:
- Change default user read permission to off
- Set whitelist pages to include the homepage and login and
register pages
- Set up a new user group with global read permissions
Anyone can set up an account, but all it gives them is read access to the front door. To do more than that, you have to have someone with burecrat permission add them to the global read group.
That may not work. I want the site readable by all and editable by registered users. So I guess I really can't moderate the registrations without losing other functionality I need.
