I do not want our wiki to be visible to the public. Only registered users should be able to view the wiki.

There only seem to be options to block specific users or IP addresses. I want to block all except registered users.

How do I do that?

Restrict viewing

Restrict editing

Restrict account creation

Hope this helps.

Thanks alot. Could you also specify in your answer how to restrict viewing and account creation. Unfortunately, mediawiki.org is blocked at work, because it is free software. – systemovich May 11 '11 at 11:16
