* E-mail address is optional; no confirmation is required.
However, giving your e-mail address allows other users to
send you mail, and enables you to request password reminders.
We won't reveal your address to anyone, unless you use
the "E-mail this user" feature.
Is this possible? If yes, how?
At this time, it's not possible to demand an email address during
account creation, although that might be something we could add in as
an optional item later. What you can do, however, is to require that
users provide an authenticated email address before editing pages. Set
$wgEmailConfirmToEdit = true; in LocalSettings.php to switch this on.
