How do I prevent an anonymous user from editing a page?
As a logged in user, edit the page you want to protect. Click the "protect" tab at the top of the page. Then select the minimum group level that should have the ability to edit the page. Click the "save" button.
How do I prevent an anonymous user from viewing a page?
Using the Page by page access extension of MediaWiki, administrators can limit which users can read and edit the page. At the top of the page, add the following line:
<accesscontrol>group,group(ro),...<accesscontrol> Rest of the page here ...
Groups listed with the (ro) attribute following the group name will be allowed to read the page, but not edit the page. Any groups listed will be allowed to read the page. Any groups that are not listed will not be allowed to read the page -- including anonymous users.
