Thread:Project talk:Support desk/Securing Mediawiki website while new user account

Hi all,

Please how can I secure my mediawiki website when I am creating new user accounts. By default we create new user account by setting  in the LocalSettings.php and then "create account" shows up on the home page but this can be a securing risk as someone anywhere in the world can also create user accounts during this time!

Is there a way to keep it more secure so that the admin can create new user accounts without someone seeing the "create account" or not being able to take advantage of that period to also create accounts or hack the site?

Thanks
