#MEDIAWIKI PRIVATE PASSWORD#

Restrict editing of certain specific pagesīy default, any sysop can protect pages so only other sysops can edit them. See Manual:Using custom namespaces and Manual:Namespace constants for a list of MediaWiki's core namespaces. Note that in the last case it's assumed that a custom namespace exists and that NS_POLICY is a defined constant equal to the namespace number. # Only allow autoconfirmed users to edit Project namespace $wgNamespaceProtection = array ( 'autoconfirmed' ) # Don't allow anyone to edit non-talk pages until they've confirmed their # email address (assuming we have no custom namespaces and allow edits # from non-emailconfirmed users to start with) # Note for 1.13: emailconfirmed group and right were removed from default # setup, if you want to use it, you'll have to re-enable it manually $wgNamespaceProtection = $wgNamespaceProtection = $wgNamespaceProtection = $wgNamespaceProtection = $wgNamespaceProtection = $wgNamespaceProtection = $wgNamespaceProtection = array ( 'emailconfirmed' ) # Only allow sysops to edit 'Policy' namespace $wgGroupPermissions = true $wgNamespaceProtection = array ( 'editpolicy' ) To prevent even sysops from creating accounts: You may also modify the contents of the email sent to new users by editing the page MediaWiki:Createaccount-text. Use plain text without any special formatting, as the formatting is ignored and the text is literally rendered. This can be done at MediaWiki:Nosuchuser, when logged in as a sysop. It may be appropriate to edit the text displayed when a non-user attempts to log in.

Instead, the user will get an error (unless you've added it to $wgWhitelistRead ) the user will be able to login with a blank password and then confirm email, but their password will not have been reset (it will have to be reset manually). If you've set $wgMinimalPasswordLength=0 (default configuration up to version 1.15) and you've left the password field blank, the user will be emailed an email address confirmation request but will be unable to access Special:Confirmemail to perform the confirmation. When you click the 'create account' button instead, you have to manually send the user their password. The user will be requested to change password at first login when they do this, the email address will also be marked as confirmed.

The account will be created with a random password which is then emailed to the given address (as with the 'forgot password' feature).

Note you need $wgEnableEmail=true or else the sysop must pick a password and send it to the user.

Enter a username and an email address, and click the 'by email' button.

Click on 'Create an account' link to get to the account creation form.

Go to Special:Userlogin, when logged in as a sysop.

New users will still be able to be created by sysops, in the following manner:
