[Mediawiki-l] Email-Confirmation

[Klaus Bostelmann]

Hi all!

I would like to have only users, whose email has been confirmed
automatically, edit and create pages on my wiki.

So I changed rights in localsettings this way:

==== begin quote
$wgEnableEmail      = true; // enable the e-mail basic features
$wgEmailAuthentication = true; // require email authentication for using any
email function (except password reminder which works independently from this
setting) $wgEmailConfirmToEdit = true; // Require a confirmed address to
edit pages

$wgGroupPermissions ['*']['edit']	= false;
$wgGroupPermissions ['emailconfirmed']['edit']	= true;
$wgGroupPermissions ['sysop']['edit']	= true;
$wgGroupPermissions['user']['edit']  = false;

$wgGroupPermissions ['*']['createpage']	= false;
$wgGroupPermissions['user']['createpage']       = false;
$wgGroupPermissions ['emailconfirmed']['createpage']	= true;
$wgGroupPermissions ['sysop']['createpage']	= true; 
==== end quote

But the situation is:
- Email-Confirmation seems to work: Mails are sent, in user settings they
are qualified "confirmed user" (in German "Bestätigte Benutzer")
- "Confirmed Users" cannot edit or create pages
- Sysop can qualify a user as "emailconfirmed" and this user CAN edit and
create

Whats wrong with my localsettings?

Thank you
