MediaWiki configuration is done through LocalSettings.php, not through the database. Allowing a Special page to write to LocalSettings.php would be a recipe for disaster.

I just completed the setup of a new wiki. I installed it on a 2003 server with IIS 6 and PHP as a virtual directory.

Everything is working great.

I have one question: How can I keep it private?

Is there a way to block the creation of new accounts?
