<code>$wgMakeUserPageFromBio = false;</code>

<code>$wgAutoWelcomeNewUsers = false;</code>

<code>$wgConfirmAccountRequestFormItems = array(

</code>

== reCAPTCHA settings ==
=== reCAPTCHA settings for the server ===
<pre>
$wgGroupPermissions['*'            ]['skipcaptcha'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['user'         ]['skipcaptcha'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['autoconfirmed']['skipcaptcha'] = true;

$wgCaptchaTriggers['badlogin']      = true;

</pre>


=== reCAPTCHA settings explained for humans ===
In human readable terms the reCAPTCHA settings are as follows:

# Anonymous users have to pass the captcha always
# Non-autoconfirmed users have to pass the captcha always
# Autoconfirmed users do not have to pass the CAPTCHA (See [[#Autopromotion settings explained for humans]] to figure out when you will be autoconfirmed)

----
== Autopromotion to skip CAPTCHA permanently praxis ==
{{Q|Make 7 edits, and when your account has existed for at least 1 hour and have clicked the "Verify my email"-link sent to verify possession of a valid email account and you can skip captcha permanently.|Juboxi|Current settings of the autopromotion}}

== Autopromotion settings ==
=== Autopromotion settings for the server ===
<pre>
$wgAutopromote = array(
        'autoconfirmed' => array(
                '&',
                APCOND_EMAILCONFIRMED,
                array( APCOND_EDITCOUNT, 7 ),
                array( APCOND_AGE, 60*60 ),
        ),
);
</pre>

=== Autopromotion settings explained for humans ===
In human readable terms:
# Users will be automatically promoted to autoconfirmed when '''all three''' conditions are met
## They have '''confirmed their email address''' by clicking on the confirmation link in the email sent by the system when registering an account
## They have made '''7 edits'''
## Their account has existed for '''at least one hour'''

These values may need to be adjusted in the future. The goal of these settings is to 
# Avoid spamming, vandals etc.
# To give genuine contributors ability to edit without needing to solve CAPTCHAs reasonably quickly

----

== Email settings ==
# <pre>$wgEnableEmail = true;</pre> Email is enabled. See [[mw:Manual:$wgEnableEmail]] for more info.
# <pre>$wgEnableUserEmail = true;</pre> Emailing users with <nowiki>[[Special:EmailUser/Username]]</nowiki> is enabled if the user has verified his/her email address and has not disabled receiving mail via wiki. See [[mw:Manual:$wgEnableUserEmail]] for more info.
# <pre>$wgEnotifUserTalk = true;</pre> Emailing notices about someone else having edited your talk page are enabled. See [[mw:Manual:$wgEnotifUserTalk]] for more info
# <pre>$wgEnotifWatchlist = true;</pre> Email notices about someone editing a page on your [[Special:Watchlist]] are enabled. See [[mw:Manual:$wgEnotifWatchlist]] for more info.
# <pre>$wgEmailAuthentication = true;</pre> Requirement to verify your email address is enabled. Without having a verified email address of the email functions only the sending new password via email will work. Also not verifying email address stops a user from being autopromoted to autoconfirmed-status. See [[mw:Manual:$wgEmailAuthentication]] for more info.

== Scary transclusion ==
<code>$wgEnableScaryTransclusion = true;</code> is enabled and [[Special:Interwiki]] adjusted so that pages with the interwiki prefix 'wikipedia:' can be transcluded by writing <nowiki>{{wikipedia::Article name}}</nowiki>

== Mobile interface ==

'''[[mw:Extension:MobileFrontend]]''' (MF) and '''[[mw:Skin:Minerva Neue]]''' together make a mobile view.

Advanced Mobile Contributions ('''AMC''') needs to be enabled for all users in order for them to see a link to [[Special:RecentChanges]] and [[Special:SpecialPages]]

* In the following configuration 
* "''base''" => all mobile users
* "''beta''" => users that have enabled the beta features in the mobile menu -> settings
* "''amc''" => users that have enabled AMC in mobile menu -> settings


Here is the configuration for the mobile interface:
<code>
 wfLoadSkin( 'MinervaNeue' );  # load skin specifically developed for mobile device audience
 $wgMFDefaultSkinClass = 'SkinMinerva'; # default skin for MF
 wfLoadExtension( 'MobileFrontend' ); # load MF
 $wgMFAutodetectMobileView = true; # explicit setting of this is not required since Mediawiki version (???)
 $wgMFAdvancedMobileContributions = true; # allow AMC. '''Obs.''' without this there will be no reasonable minimum menu
 $wgMinervaPageActions = array( # show UI for page actions: edit, talk, watch, switch language
         'edit' => true,
         'talk' => true,
         'watch' => true,
         'switch-language' => true
 );
 $wgMinervaHistoryInPageActions = array( # show UI for page history in mobile menu to all mobile users
   'beta' => true,
   'base' => true,
   'amc' => true
 );
 $wgMinervaAdvancedMainMenu = array(  # Enable Advanced Main Menu in mobile menu to all mobile users
   'beta' => true,
   'base' => true,
   'amc' => true
 );
 $wgMinervaPersonalMenu = array( # Show personal menu in mobile menu to all mobile users
   'beta' => true,
   'base' => true,
   'amc' => true
 );
