I've read
this page:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Documentation:Security
but I'd like to know how to require editors to log in first, and how
to
disable account creation.
Add the following lines to LocalSettings.php:
# Prevent new user
registrations - only users with sysop status can
# create users.
$wgWhitelistAccount = array ( "sysop" => 1 );
# You must be a logged
in user to edit pages. Combining this
# restriction with the previous
restriction means we control who can
# edit pages. $wgWhitelistEdit =
true;
I finally got round to doing this (without the messy mail indentation
etc) but it doesn't seem to have had any effect. We're running 1.3.1 for
various reasons.
Is there a time lag for the changes to be implemented perhaps? any other
clues?:-) thanks. the spammers have been getting busy...
