Translate this page

The PrivateDomains extension restricts wiki editing to users with a certain email address. It adds a new special page, Special:PrivateDomains, to allow changing the name of the organization and to add "trusted" email 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.

Installation

Download and move the extracted PrivateDomains folder to your extensions/ directory.
Developers and code contributors should install the extension from Git instead, using:
```
cd extensions/
git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/PrivateDomains
```
Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:
```
wfLoadExtension( 'PrivateDomains' );
```
Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

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 email 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
