Just sending this back to the list, since I didn't get a response earlier. Anyone have any ideas on how I can check to see if a specific article exists that isn't the currecnt article? I want to change the class used in the link, and possibly send them directly to the edit page.

It's not really set up to do that easily. If you want to, per some conversations a month or so ago on the list, you may want to: * Change default user read permission to off * Set whitelist pages to include the homepage and login and register pages * Set up a new user group with global read permissions Anyone can set up an account, but all it gives them is read access to the front door. To do more than that, you have to have someone with burecrat permission add them to the global read group.

New users can go into a group that has read, but not edit permission. You would then change their group membership to a group that can edit as part of the registration process. Adding some code to shoot off an email upon user creation shouldn't be too difficult. -Justin PRIVACY NOTICE This email and any attachments may be confidential and/or privileged.

Is MediaWiki pretty immune to this, given that there's no way to moderate registrations? I just don't have the bandwidth to monitor the wiki 24/7. Thanks.
