MediaWiki

Our Media Wiki system (http://nsl.cs.sfu.ca/wiki) grants anonymous users read permission on all pages except the ones in Private: namespace. However, our Wiki system does not allow anonymous users to create new account, nor to add/edit pages. To add a new user into our Wiki system, an administrator has to perform two operations. First, the administrator creates a new user account through Wiki's special pages. Second, the administrator associate this new user with user group nsl, which is granted with permission to add/edit pages including those ones in Private: namespace. Detailed steps are given in the following.
