I am using Media Wiki software for the PBM Wiki.
I am new to being on the admin side of wikis, and would appreciate some guidance, for those in the know.
I want to limit access to who all can edit (or vandalize) the PBM Wiki. I know that, typically, one of the core beauties of wiki software is that it empowers a mass of individuals to edit and to revise a given wiki site.
My preference, however, is for myself and a handful of others (trusted others) to be able to edit and to add to the PBM Wiki. Some anonymous soul added a spam link on the PBM Wiki, recently, so I would like to go ahead and address this potential nightmare, to get it out of the way.
I believe that what I need to do is to edit the LocalSettings.php file. If anyone in the know can provide me a simple copy and paste of what to add to the LocalSettings.php file, that would be appreciated. Or, in the event that I am lost and in left field on this subject, if you could provide corrective guidance in the alternative, then that would be appreciated, as well.
Mucho thanks in advance for your help!
