A wiki that I admin, w:c:nemosreef, is set up to require users to login when attempting to edit the wiki. I'm trying to figure out if I had anything to do with that (and if so, what) or if it was that way prior to my adoption of the wiki in July, 2014.

I do not notice anything resembling such an option in my admin controls, and it is my understanding that this may require Wikia staff to actually put in place on a wiki.

Another wiki where I edit, w:c:neoscavenger, does not have this restriction on editing, but the admin and I are considering the option, as the retail game (which is the subject of the wiki) was recently launched to the general public, and has a button in the game which sends the player directly to the wiki here.

As a result, the wiki is being inundated with multitudes of anonymous postings, many of which are either unhelpful, along with some that are mean and/or harassing. In other words, expected growing pains for a wiki becoming popular.

Our first action regarding this is that we announced the intent to remove comments from articles. Once this is done, we can re-evaluate the possible need for requiring users to log in, but in the meantime, I'd like to have whatever information is available regarding the process to set the wiki up to require logins. Thanks in advance.
