Forum:Locking wiki to sysop only

We would like to know how to lock our wiki so only people with sysop can access it during construction as we learn and add more. Appreciate any help on this. Smeds 19:40, 6 August 2009 (UTC)


 * This currently is not a feasible request. Please see Help:Page protection and Help:Ownership. -- 19:58, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
 * It's usually best to learn about managing a wiki before requesting one. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 20:03, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
 * No it's not, many people learn best if they can have hands-on experience as they learn. -- ◄mendel► 22:23, 6 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I wouldn't describe it as "not a feasible request", I would more accurately describe as something that Smeds doesn't really need at this point. Smeds, if you simply create your wiki (you probably have already), you can learn quite a lot about wiki-editing and sysop access. I don't think you need to worry about people ruining work; in any case, that's quite an opportunity for you to learn more! :) And Mendel's quite right, hands-on experience is a good way to learn.
