Thread:Project talk:Support desk/Securing Mediawiki website while new user account/reply (2)

Hi I have read the documentation. I am currently using mediawiki 1.20.5. There is a function  that is used to hide the 'log in / create account' message from the homepage but this doesn't seem to work with my current version of mediawiki; it however worked with older versions.

Is there a way I can make this to work as this is really what I needed i.e. a way to enable the 'create account' but to stop prying eyes from taking advantage of that short interval to also create account in my wiki since 'all' have the ability to create account once the  is set to true.

Thanks
