Yeah looks like the extension. I still haven't looked at the work one, because I think I had that one set to allow full self-registration, because that one was limited to only accept verified emails *from works domain*.
But I just finished setting up the new one on tandy.wiki, and I had to install the extension ConfirmAccount. And then I had to get around the fact that I wanted all admin emails to go to my gmail, but gmail was rejecting email from my digital ocean ip address. But after squaring away the ptr record and fqdn, and setting mediawiki to send to two different addresses for myself, It's working like I want. * A new user can read everything, * can request an account from the login form, * and the request makes them verify their email, * then if verified, emails me at 2 different addresses so if I don't see the gmail one, I'll still see the other, just less immediately, * then I only have to click a link in the email to review the request and ok it, * and the same could be true for a group of admins instead of just myself. I'm proceeding with the site because I have other tandy/trs-80 stuff besides model-100 stuff I'm interested in. Now I just hope there's not some nasty script that still kills the box simply by filling the drive with account requests before I put in some kind of rate limiter!
