Forum:Making people sign up before they use my wiki, is it possible if so how?

Title says it all, any takers?


 * This is technically possible, but it is strongly discouraged and should only be done in an extreme case. Special:Contact is the best way to get information from and make requests to staff. The 888th Avatar   (talk)  05:49, March 23, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the response. I am just starting with wikis however I fear my projects could be vandalised easily if some feature like this isn't enabled. Anything I can do?


 * You'll find that you won't need to do anything except revert anything that comes up, and block users if necessary. Very few wikis get to the stage where vandalism is a real, detrimental problem. One could say that Wikipedia is vandalised frequently, yet they don't find the need to start protecting the whole site - because they have enough users and admins to deal with the problem.

Thanks a lot for your response. I sincerely hope so. I guess I'll learn about blocking and reverting users with time.
