Hi!
I've set up a wiki where the intention is to have public viewing, but with a restricted list of editors. Technically this was done by:
$wgWhitelistEdit = true; $wgWhitelistAccount = array ( "user" => 0, "sysop" => 1, "developer" => 1 );
However, I am at a loss as to how I as a sysop can add new users. Do I have to add them manually by SQL'ing the database directly? Or is there some way or interface that I don't know about? Any help would be appreciated.
Regards, Arne Meyer
PS: Please note that this is not a question about the principle of restricting the list of people who can edit; we are aware of the drawbacks of it, but allowing everyone to edit is unfortunately not an option for the time being.

While logged in yourself, go to [[Special:Userlogin]]. There will be a couple of extra buttons which allow you to create new accounts, either with a given password or with a random password which will be e-mailed to the given address.
