[Mediawiki-l] How to Temp. Disable Wiki.

[Bass, Joshua L]

For 1.5 mediawiki add this to your Localsettings.php. It will allow only
registered members to read and edit the wiki and prevent newcomers from
registering:

$wgGroupPermissions = array();

$wgGroupPermissions['*'    ]['createaccount']   = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['*'    ]['read']            = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['*'    ]['edit']            = false;

$wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['move']            = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['read']            = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['edit']            = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['upload']          = true;

Is there a way I can install a wiki, but disable it for casual visitors
until we have most of our content and templates added.  We have been
preparing to install a new wiki at its own domain, we have a lot of
documents (that are unfortuneatley not in a sql dump), templates,
graphics etc that are all part of it. It would be nice to have the time
to get all of our info inplace before we open the doors.

Thanks
Aaron
