The RECOUP manual wiki (http://manual.recoup.educ.cam.ac.uk/) unfortunately attracted a lot of vandalism recently, and as there was no time for management (e.g. upgrade/install captcha etc), we simply locked it down. Here's what we did:
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['user']['edit'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['edit'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createpage'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['user']['createpage'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['createpage'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false;
It basically means that only sysops can edit and create pages. Not ideal, but with the next round of editing we can create a new group of editors.
