Thread:Project:Support desk/Special preventing access for own wiki/reply

Hi!

You can add CSS rules to the wiki page MediaWiki:Common.css in your wiki. With these rules you can hide certain elements of the website:


 * 1) ca-watch { display: none !important; }

(Just an example rule to show what I mean.)

With CSS you can hide the according elements from being visible - however, if people know the URLs, they will still be able to access the pages, which these elements link to. So you might also want to change that: You can edit the file LocalSettings.php in the file system of the server and set user permissions, which disallow people to register and/or to edit:

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

This then makes login and editing impossible. For more information on user groups and the according user rights see Manual:User rights.

Btw: The page you linked to is not run by the MediaWiki software. Basically it is only a copy of what the Wikimedia foundation wikis look like, but there is no wiki software behind that screen.
