In LocalSettings.php: $wgGroupPermissions['user']['createpage'] = false; does not disallow creation of new pages for registered users. $wgGroupPermissions['user']['edit'] = false; yeilds restriction of creation of pages, but also disallows editing in general. See http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help_talk:User_rights#Restriction_for_visitors_not_seeming_to_work for another report of the same issue. Note: Installation includes http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:PageSecurity However, disabling the extension in LocalSettings.php does not fix the problem.
Works for me. Permissions are additive, and all users are members of the "*" group, which is allowed to create pages under the default settings, so two lines are needed: $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createpage'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['user']['createpage'] = false;
