Wiki - Account Self-Creation

When you run a public-facing Wiki, it's kinda handy to let users create their own accounts.

But...

You need to control what they can do.

Enabling the "Create Account" link for non logged-in users.

• sudo vi LocalSettings.php:

Set:

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

Enforcing email authentication

• $wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false;
• $wgGroupPermissions['user']['edit'] = false;
• $wgAutopromote['emailconfirmed'] = APCOND_EMAILCONFIRMED;
• $wgGroupPermissions['emailconfirmed']['edit'] = true;
