[Mediawiki-l] locking down mediawiki ?

[Alistair Johnson]

Why not just limit who can create accounts - in localsettings.php

# Limit creation of new user accounts to staff with admin access
$wgWhitelistAccount = array ( "sysop" => 1, "developer" => 1); 

Then only the people who you create accounts for will be able to edit the
wiki.

It seems to indicate that I can make it so that only logged in persons can
edit.

It doesn't seem to say if I can again limit this to Sysops only.

Am I missing it?
