Extension:PrivateDomains

The PrivateDomains extension restricts wiki editing to users with a certain e-mail address. It adds a new special page, Special:PrivateDomains, to allow changing the name of the organization and to add "trusted" e-mail addresses. Bureaucrats and staff members can access this special page by default.

If a non-privileged user (someone who does not have the organization's email address) tries to edit, they see a warning box about the fact that they cannot change pages on the wiki. Be aware that the user can't view pages' wikitext source either.

Configuration
While PrivateDomains settings are meant to be edited via Special:PrivateDomains, they are stored in the MediaWiki: namespace and thus they can also be directly edited.


 * MediaWiki:Privatedomains-domains — contains the list of allowed e-mail domains
 * MediaWiki:Privatedomains-affiliatename — contains the name of the organization, i.e. FooCorp, Inc. or Bar State University
 * MediaWiki:Privatedomains-emailadmin — contains the name of a wiki user whom users can contact if they're having issues
