Disabling Anonymous Edits

$ rcsdiff LocalSettings.php

The above is for MidiaWiki 1.5 and later. Note, setting createaccount = false will prevent anonymous users from creating accounts for themsleves.

Sysop Users

Users with SysOp priviledges have additional special pages they can view, and normal pages will include a delete tab.  Which accounts have SysOp access is controlled by editing/adding records in the Wiki's mw_user_groups table.
