[Mediawiki-l] help: I'm under agressive attack: "wikitikitav i"?

Check http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Setting_user_rights_in_MediaWiki

In 1.4.x you can use:
# Specify who can edit: true means only logged in users may edit pages
$wgWhitelistEdit = true;
# Specify who may create new accounts: 0 means no, 1 means yes
$wgWhitelistAccount = array ( 'user' => 0, 'sysop' => 1, 'developer' => 1 );


To limit user creation to specified groups (yourself only for instance) and
limit editing rights to users with accounts.

Al.

re: peswiki.com, a mediawiki-based site.

I am currently (past 2 hours) under a highly aggressive, computerized
attack.  Indefinite number IPs so I can't block one by one.  Repeated
submits robotically ~4x/minute on unprotected pages, mainly listed from the
home page.

the code includes the string "wikitikitavi"

I don't know how to globally shut of the "edit" function for my site.

If one of you knows how to do this, could you contact me immediately by
phone, preferably, or by email
