Hey Bruce, welcome to the world of MediaWiki. ;) You'll find the answer to your question in the FAQ: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:FAQ#How_can_I_prevent_editing_by_anonymous_users.3F Of course, I don't know the reason why you want to limit editing to registered users only. It might be that you need something else, e.g. captcha-based edit filtering to protect you from spam. Please take a while to read through http://mediawiki.org/ and the manuals there. You will find the answers to the most common questions there. Feel free to drop a mail our way if you don't find what your looking for in the documentation, though. Good luck! -- Lucas 'TOR' Garczewski Wikia Tech Team _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
