Editing Permissions

To limit edit rights to users with an account in MediaWiki, we have modified the LocalSettings.php file in the MediaWiki installation.

1. Disable anonymous editing: Add the following lines to your LocalSettings.php file:

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

1. Enable editing for registered users: Add this line to allow registered users to edit:

   $wgGroupPermissions['user']['edit'] = true;

1. Restrict account creation (optional): If you want to restrict account creation to sysops only, add:

   $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false;
   $wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['createaccount'] = true;

Yes, you can password-protect your MediaWiki site so that only registered users can view it. To do this, you need to modify the LocalSettings.php file. Here are the steps:

1. Disable reading by anonymous users: Add the following line to your LocalSettings.php file:

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

1. Allow reading for registered users: Add this line to allow registered users to view the pages:

   $wgGroupPermissions['user']['read'] = true;

1. Restrict account creation (optional): If you want to restrict account creation to sysops only, add:

   $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false;
   $wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['createaccount'] = true;

These changes will ensure that only registered users can view the content on your MediaWiki site[1][2].
