I am creating a wiki page and don't want other people to edit the contents except myself. Is it possible to do this, so that other users (anonymous or registered) can't edit the pages, except me. In other words, other users can only read the contents.

MediaWiki has user groups and if your account is in a special group (e.g. you are admin or bureaucrat of the wiki), then you can protect the page.

I just realized that you are once speaking about a "page" and once about "pages". If you in fact want to disallow users from editing all pages, then you should set

$wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['user']['edit'] = false;

in LocalSettings.php.
