At the moment, I would like to restrict user editing to Registered only, as vandalism by unregistered users is fairly problematic. How would I go about doing this?

Special:AdminDashboard -> Require all contributors to log in
Thank you very much!
Is there any way to allow persons to comment freely, however?
Further, how do I edit the user group permissions of my wiki?
I don't think you can individually edit permissions of a specific usergroup, you'd have to contact Fandom Staff here or protect every page to autoconfirmed users:
https://fandom.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
Understood.
Just in case you are still wondering, you cannot allow anons to comment but not edit.
If the vandalism is just on a few specific pages, you can just protect those individual pages to be edited only by autoconfirmed users, and the comments will be still open to all users including anons.
Autoconfirmed users are users who have their account for at least 96 hours, so excluding anons and new accounts.
I thought protecting the page also protected the comments. Or perhaps that was a bug?
IIRC it was announced as a bug that was being fixed. But I didn't check myself.
What do you think?
