MediaWiki: Prevent anon editing

Prevent editing without logging in on MediaWiki sites

This script disables the save button on MediaWiki sites if you're not logged in. You can still view the source and even preview your edits, but you won't be able to accidentally save the page "anonymously".

By default the script will apply to (just about) all MediaWiki wikis. To restrict it to, say, only Wikipedia, edit the "included pages" list after installing.

Thanks, voyagerfan5761. Hadn't spotted that. I've added a second @include line, that should fix it.

I just saved a null edit to my Wikipedia userpage with this script. It doesn't appear to work on pages with *action=submit*, only *action=edit*.

I accidentally saved two anonymous wiki edits...on a Greasemonkey wiki! Thought process:

1. Crap
2. I should write a gmscript to prevent this
3. Check http://userscripts.org/tag/mediawiki

Thanks.
