Admin notes:

The ConfirmAccount extension disables direct account creation and requires submission and approval of accounts by bureaucrats. Account creations can be enabled through configuring user rights, such as if you wanted Sysops/Bureaucrats to be able to directly make them.

If installed with the ConfirmEdit extension, captchas can be used to stop flood requests.

The new user log extension also works with ConfirmAccount.

$wgWhitelistEdit = true;
$wgWhitelistRead = false;
$wgWhitelistAccount = array ( "user" => 0, "sysop" => 1, "developer" => 1 );
