The installer's "authorized editors only" setting only blockades the rights "edit" or "createaccount", but the rights "createpage" and "createtalk" are not. I think this setting should be falsified for the installer. So Right now: # The following permissions were set based on your choice in the installer $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false; Should change to: # The following permissions were set based on your choice in the installer $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createpage'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createtalk'] = false;
And not only that; img_auth.php should be applied and there should be an option to integrate img_auth.php with image uploading on the installer.
Hi Jeff, I have tried this on v1.22 - the installer still adds $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false; However I could create pages as an anon. Can you still reproduce this bug ?
Well of course this is reproduce-able, but I'm not interested in making a new wiki for the purpose of testing.
I can't reproduce this issue with 1.22. Although the installer doesn't add lines prohibiting createpage and createtalk, anons are unable to do so.
No, we need somebody to change it so that it clearly adds the lines I requested.
Why? They're not necessary. The $wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false; line prevents page creation already. I just tested it. Adding the other lines would have no benefit and would just clutter up LocalSettings.php.
Permissions are supposed to tell EXACTLY what is blocked and what is not. Some wikis may even want anons to make pages only; the software is not supposed to bundle certain rights together.
I don't really see a use case for that, but I've updated the bug report to reflect it.
Sorry, but I don't see a valid use case for a write-once-read-many medium using MediaWiki.
