I know that by setting "$wgWhitelistEdit = true;" in LocalSettings.php I can limit edits to registered users. However, we have a need to control new accounts. Is there a way to allow just sysops to create user accounts for others? Ideally the special page "Create an account or log in" would be split into a "log in" page available to anyone and a "Create an account" page available only to sysops.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks --Ira

$wgWhitelistAccount = array ( 'sysop' => 1);
in LocalSettings.php should do the trick. (This is for 1.4, I believe it's different for 1.5, but I haven't played with 1.5 yet).

Look at DefaultSettings.php.
