Description

https://mc2.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page

if I would have access to "LocalSettings.php"
I would like to do two things:

$wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false;
(that means that nobody can register yourself, it's only me creating accounts)

$wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false;
(that is the main thing I want: if you're not a registered user you can't edit and translate)

PiotrW updated the task description. (Show Details)

Edit can be restricted but create account can not as anyone could just create an account on another wiki.

so please advise me how to do that:

I am creating the web page with training resources. I am the person to fill up the content.
And I want some people, that I know to translate that into 14 languages (that means not everybody only the people I will invite).
I want everybody to see the pages and download files.

what shall I do?

Translate and edit are two separate permissions.

so do I understand correctly that you can changes in local settings, but you want me to think twice before... I will do some more research what more rights I want to have...

does it mean that any account on miraheze can access any media wiki on miraheze? is this not that accounts are related to my specific miraheze?

Yes, because of the CentralAuth extension, we have a shared account database.
