[Mediawiki-l] Disabling account creation

[Carlton B]

No, I'm not building a wall here, I'm building a better door.   Or you can think of it as a passport that will allow the users access to systems other than the Wiki.   I'll be happy to explain more about my motives if you're interested, but let's not mock what we don't understand, mmkay?

Uhm... that sounds like you want to make a wall, then knock a big hole 
in it!

Either you allow people to create accounts, or you don't.
