Arcane's suggestion about localhost is excellent as long as you'll always edit from the same machine. If not, then you'll have to set up permissions properly. I also have a wiki where only I can edit. In my LocalSettings.php I have:
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false; Note that: [1] this is for a very old version: 1.13.4. [2] Also, I might not have set the variables optimally. [3] It still allows everyone to read it But this is the direction you should take (unless you will always edit from the same machine). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Haim (Howard) Roman Computer Center, Jerusalem College of Technology Phone: 052-8-592-599 (6022 from within Machon Lev) On Tue, Nov 6, 2012 at 4:37 AM, Arcane 21 <[email protected]> wrote: > > If you want to create a wiki with these features in MediaWiki, I suggest > checking out the Extensions available for MediaWiki on mediawiki.org and > picking what is needed for your setup.
