MediaWiki causes me to ragequit

[Ryan Rix]

Hey PLUGgers,

Today the ABLEconf internal wiki was hit pretty hard by spammers. :(

We looked at how to protect the pages so that only registered users can edit 
any part of the wiki. Unfortunately, according to 
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8796 that has been disabled, 
due to the fact that any user could then change the page so that only admin 
could edit it... or something. Obviously it has little bearing on our 
internal wiki, but still keeps us from protecting those pages.

Outside of doing this by hand, what do you recommend to secure our mediawiki 
install?

She asked me, "What's your sign?"
I blinked and answered "Neon,"
I thought I'd blow her mind...
