If this isn't the right newsgroup for this request, please let me know. It seemed the most appropriate of the (numerous!) choices :-)
We're using MW to set up a site that will be read-only to outside users, and would like to hide the "action bar" (the one that includes "history") as those actions are not necessary for what we want. I can't do this with CSS without also hiding the same buttons when a user is logged in, which is obviously not desirable. Can anyone offer advice on this?
Thanks, Ken McDonald

Hide with CSS. If user is logged in produce overriding CSS to show them. However note that some skins don't look correctly if you hide all the actions.
You may change the bar using this hook: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Hooks/PersonalUrls The status can be determined with $_GLOABLS['user']->isAnon(); which returns true if the user is anonymous.
