Forum:Making wiki private?

Is it possible to make my wiki private so only me or people with password can access it?

Oh and, where is admin control panel or something?


 * This is not possible on Wikia. Also, the closest thing to a "control panel" would be Special:SpecialPages on your wiki. Things admins can do are bolded in addition to deleting and protecting pages. -- 15:18, March 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * The best thing you could do to make your wiki private is not to link to it anywhere. If it is very hard to access, it's unlikely anyone will find it. 02:09, March 30, 2010 (UTC)

This page http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Preventing_access#Simple_private_wiki, should explain everything you need. --Uberfuzzy 04:03, March 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * Uberfuzzy is being very nice. Creating a private wiki on Wikia is really against the spirit of Wikia. The whole reason Wikia lets you make wikis for free is to drive traffic to their site which a private wiki generally won't do. But maybe Wikia is nice enough not to care if the big wikis drive enough traffic. -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 5:26 AM PST 3 Apr 2010
