Hi,
We have setup Mediawiki within our University and have a fair understanding of it. Hoever, we failed to test the block feature and we discovered this after setting it up and starting to use it :(
Block seems to clock the username from posting but it does not block the user from logging in. Has there been any work to either block logins for blocked accounts or add an enabled flag in the user table?
Although wikis should be open communities, we use it for internal documentation and when an employee leaves (or student drop a course etc), we would like to be able to delete the or block the account from gaining read access. I am willing to work on this code if no one has done so already but want the efforts to be put into the main source so I dont have to do it over and over each time there is an upgrade.
Has anyone done this/started this/talked about this?
