Could you post (somewhere) some details of what you did?
Being brand new to mediawiki and PHP and MySQL, what you are saying gets my interest but I really have no idea what you are talking about.
I am finding my way around but these generalize answers really do not help me (or other new users I would presume).
Thanks Ralph

I ended up implementing it as a function in LocalSettings.php and attached it to the 'AbortNewAccount'-hook. This triggers in the addNewAccountInternal-method of the LoginForm-class in SpecialUserlogin.php. Seems to do the trick.
If anyone has a better, cleaner or more secure way to do it, I'm interested.

Hi
I'm interested in applying custom rules for who is allowed to
create a new account on my wiki, e.g. only allow new users who use an e-mail address from a particular domain.
How can I do this? I have looked at the
ConfirmAccount-Extension but from what I understand it involves sysops manually approving new accounts, which seems cumbersome. Is there any way to do it automatically?

We're also interested in this, especially bogus accounts using
the ".ru"
domain.
