Is it possible to modify MediaWiki so that people *must* be logged in to edit?
Note: Thanks to everyone, especially Brion, who helped with my URL forwarding issues. I was able to resolve them by reconfiguring my host, rather than messing with the MediaWiki code itself. In the process I learned a lot about how DNS works! There isn't much on the wiki yet, but now I can focus on content!

It's this code in LocalSettings.php - we have ours set the way you're talking about:
## Configured so anyone can browse, only those with accounts can edit, and only the ## WikiSysop can create new accounts (change developer to 1 if you want anyone with ## an account to be able to create other accounts)
$wgWhitelistEdit = true; $wgWhitelistRead = false; $wgWhitelistAccount = array ( "user" => 0, "sysop" => 1, "developer" => 0 );

Michelle,
Thanks! Turns out the first line is all that I need. I believe the third line, the way you have it set up, means that only people with SysOp privileges can edit pages, which is a higher level of protection than I (currently) need.
Cheers,

Sorry, I see your notes explain that the third line is about who can create accounts. (Once I got your message I had looked in DefaultSettings.php where it isn't clearly explained at present.) I also (finally!) found the Meta page where all this is laid out very clearly:

Sometimes you have to know what you are looking for before you can find it!
