Dear mailing list,
Can Mediawiki have mail based authentification at create account like mailman?
When the new user makes a new account, it's possible to input a mail address. But a mail address is just input and the justice isn't being confirmed. I want to use the authentication function by the mail address to confirm the user's new justice.
I looked for a manual and a FAQ, but I couldn't find that there is such function.
Does Mediawiki have such function?

Under the default configuration in all recent release branches, MediaWiki will send users a confirmation email and require them to confirm their email address, when one is provided, or when it's changed in preferences.
Users without confirmed email addresses won't be able to send or receive email through the wiki; this excludes password reminders, for obvious reasons.

After lots of spam links on my wikis, I have decided to add
$wgEmailConfirmToEdit='true';
to Localsettings.php
