Forum:How to Protect Wiki

Hello there, people. I've been playing with the administration settings in my wikia, but I can't get it right. I'm trying to lock the whole wikia so that no one except admins can edit anything on it. I would not do this if were sure about its safety, but some smart guy abused some pages right after creation, so I'm pretty cautious now.

So, what I'm looking for is that only I can edit the wikia and only I can create an account that will be able to edit the wikia, and no one else. Is this possible? If yes, how? Thank you, people. Zajoman 09:06, 24 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Wikia doesnt support private or closed wikis such as these. If you require a completly closed off wiki such as that, you will want to look into setting up your own private wiki on other hosting, where you can control the edit permission settings, and also control who can even create accounts (or allow you to approve them). --Uberfuzzy 11:02, 24 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I see. So wanting to stay on Wikia, I will have to take the risk. Thank you. Zajoman 12:03, 24 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Since users account are site wide, meaning account created on another wiki will work on you project, blocking account creation could not be done anyway.
 * You can use protection if some page are under heavy vandalism. But on Wikia, protection must not be permanant, except for legal text and highly used templates. You can see Wikia's rules about protection on this page. — TulipVorlax 14:24, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
