[Mediawiki-l] Hiding the "edit" link

Damien,

I use the following in LocalSettings.php:

$wgWhitelistRead = array( "Main Page", "Special:Userlogin", "-", "MediaWiki:Monobook.css" );
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount']   = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['read']            = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit']            = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['createpage']      = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['createtalk']      = false;

This effectively locks down the wiki to anyone not logged in.  We have a very small userbase that rarely changes, so I don't mind having to manually create the accounts.  Obviously if you want anonymous users to have read access you'd change it to true.

How do you hide the "edit" link to people who are not logged in?

I know it can be done because I've done it before. Unfortunately I don't 
remember what I did. I checked the LocalSettings.php file and didn't 
find anything. I'm using version 1.8.2.
