If you want to set up MediaWiki in a way that only registered members can read, you have to edit the following lines in your LocalSettings.php file accordingly:
$wgWhitelistRead = array(“Special:Userlogin”, “-“, “MediaWiki:Monobook.css” );
$wgGroupPermissions[‘*’][‘read’] = false;
The LocalSettings.php file can be modified using cPanel’s File Manager, or via FTP.
