247 247  Well, not quite...
248 248  There are still certain configurations which are a good idea that you should do. First and foremost, you should disable account registration, if possible, to ensure that rogue visitors don't get to pollute your database with bogus names. The user registration process is available to all visitors, by default, and this means that literally anyone can register an account on your Wiki. Which may be what you want or it might not be. For me, I prefer creating user accounts manually as the administrator so I opted to turn off the registration option. I suggest you do the same.

252 252  Log into your administrative account if you're not already logged in. Press the hamburger menu button at the top right of the grettings page and open the side menu. From there, select the "Administer Wiki" option.
253 253  On the new page, expand the "Users & Rights" left panel and then click on the "Rights" menu option. You should then be redirected to a "Global Administration: Rights" page. Here, you can micro-manage the rights of every single user and groups of users. Explaining user rights and the exact functions of each of these options is outside the scope of this wiki. For now, I'll only describe the disabling of the registration.

262 262  I intentionally left the "View" and "Comment" rights specifically allowed for "Unregistered Users" as I believe that visitors should, intrinsically, have the ability to contribute to content as they see fit, without having to register for an account. You may wish to tweak these user rights as you see fit, though.
263 +If you will allow unregistered users to comment, though, please consider checking the checkbox below for requiring them to solve a CAPTCHA for each comment, like I did. This will prevent technically savvy individuals from writing automated scripts or bots that will access your wiki and continously and automatically keep generating machine-generated text comments. While this will not prevent humans from posting spam on your Wiki, it should prevent bots from doing so.
