Hello everybody,

Hi,

I'm a newbie dummy user of MediaWiki.

I waited for the 1.5 release because I heard that in this release a more flexible rules of page editing will be available. Perhaps they are but having installed the 1.5 beta version: http://iyapi.net/wiki I see that everybody, even unregistered reader, may edit unlocked pages. I wonder is it possible to

1. make the pages uneditable for readers

See http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Setting_user_rights_in_MediaWiki#Configuring_...

2. make the signup of potential editors approvable by admins

See http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Preventing_Access

Thans in advance,

Constantine Chmielnicki

Cheers,
