Restricting who can register on a wiki

[Peter Evans]

Does anyone know of a way of controlling the way people can register and
establish an account.

Perhaps having a password on the user registration page or being able to
move the account creation page to an obscure location.

We are currently preventing user self registration using

You could write an extension using the AbortNewAccount hook. This
would perform a second-level check that the user was permitted to
create the account, and then do the actual creation itself, later.

This is a matter of retaining the user class information and saving
the object at a later date.
