We've had some issues with really bad vandalism on some public

I've recently modified role::mediawiki-install::labs to automatically
install the Nuke, SpamBlacklist and ConfirmEdit extensions.  I welcome
suggestions abou

We should likely default MediaWiki installs to require login to edit,
and restrict account creation by default:

# Only sysops can create new accounts.
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false;

# Anons can't edit
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false;
I'll see about adding those. The downside is that puppetizing restrictions like this means that admins pretty much can't turn them off, even for well-considered reasons. Is there any established puppet pattern for overriding Puppet's inclination to refresh files? (I can imagine something like having a non-puppetized file that includes a puppetized default file or something along those lines... but nothing elegant.)
