1. Convince the site owner to upgrade to version 1.5.3 if possible.
This contains advanced permissions handling which makes your second
request simpler. Also, 1.5.3 contains security fixes for issues in the
1.4.x and 1.5.x (pre .3) branches.
2. MediaWiki doesn't contain functionality to delete user accounts.
3. See
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Preventing_access for
information on restricting anon. editing, account creation, etc.

I am helping with a (vers. 1.45) mediawiki site,
populating and managing the
content for someone else. I am quite new to this and would like to find
someone who can answer some questions, particularly about security and user
access levels.
I do not have direct access to the wiki files, since it is being hosted by a
separate isp. At the moment, I know how to create a new login account and
how to upgrade it to bureaucrat level, but not how to delete an account or
how to secure the wiki so that it can't be edited unless someone is logged
in to a valid account. Those are my two challenges at present.
Thanks to anyone who can help,
Rusel
