Add these lines (fix the date):

1. 1. Inserted by KK 2010 04 28

1. Disable reading by anonymous users
2. $wgGroupPermissions['*']['read'] = false;

1. But allow them to read e.g., these pages:

$wgWhitelistRead = array ( "Main Page", "Special:Userlogin", "Wikipedia:Help");

1. Disable for everyone.

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

1. Disable for users, too: by default 'user' is allowed to edit, even if '*' is not.

$wgGroupPermissions['user']['edit'] = false;

1. Make it so users with confirmed e-mail addresses are in the group.

$wgAutopromote['emailconfirmed'] = APCOND_EMAILCONFIRMED;

1. Hide group from user list.

$wgImplicitGroups = array( 'emailconfirmed' );

1. Finally, set it to true for the desired group.

$wgGroupPermissions['emailconfirmed']['edit'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['user']['upload'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['emailconfirmed']['upload'] = true;

$wgLogo="/mylogo.png";

$wgStrictFileExtensions = false; $wgFileExtensions = array_merge($wgFileExtensions,array('pdf', 'tar', 'tgz'));
