The page title in MediaWiki:Mainpage will be set as
the main page,
so you can put Special:Userlogin there. This won't actually force
people to log in, though: It'll just prompt them to if they visit
yourwiki.com.
If you want to force people to log in before they can
see anything, take
a look at
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Preventing_access
The only problem with this method (changing Mediawiki:Mainpage) is once a
user logs in they are taken back to the Special:UserLogin page, not the Main
Page. Is there anyway to accomplish this and redirect back to the Main Page?
Thanks.
