Topic on Project:Support desk/Flow

to preventing abusers, i would like to prevent non-confirmed users from editing/creating articles.

but I want to allow, to editing userpage. this should contain a template, which is to be filled, and checked. the user will then be asigned to group, which can edit/create articles. can this be achieved?

$wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false;

$wgGroupPermissions['user']['edit'] = false;

$wgGroupPermissions['xxx']['read'] = true;

$wgGroupPermissions['xxx']['edit'] = true;

$wgGroupPermissions['xxx']['createtalk'] = true;

$wgGroupPermissions['xxx']['createpage'] = true;

$wgGroupPermissions['xxx']['editmyoptions'] = true;

$wgGroupPermissions['xxx']['editmyprivateinfo'] = true;

$wgGroupPermissions['xxx']['writeapi'] = true;

$wgGroupPermissions['xxx']['editmywatchlist'] = true;

$wgGroupPermissions['xxx']['viewmyprivateinfo'] = true;

$wgGroupPermissions['xxx']['viewmywatchlist'] = true;

do i do something wrong ?

If I understand correctly, you want the user to do something (fill a template somewhere) and have the rights automatically assigned then? That's not possible without additional work (eg a bot).

well, as user number is limited, will do verificaton manually. this is not an issue, but currently, new users cannot edit their userpage.

i'd like users being able to writing info on the Special:MyPage only, until verification is done, and user is assigned to appropriate group

A quick and dirty way to do that would be to set a namespace restriction for * to the user namespace, and you then add the user to an appropriate group that does not have this restriction.
