The Unregistered Edit Links extension restores the Edit and Create links in article navigation on wikis where editing requires having an account, so anonymous users do not get the impression the wiki is completely locked down and only editable by staff. The links lead to Special:CreateAccount with an additional notice notifying them of the requirement.

As of version 2.0.0, the links are labeled "Sign up to edit" and "Sign up to create." These can be customized by editing the unregistered-edit and unregistered-create system messages in the MediaWiki namespace, however, translations should be done through the Website linked below.

Installation

• Download, extract, and place the file(s) in a directory called UnregisteredEditLinks in your extensions/ folder.
• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:

  wfLoadExtension( 'UnregisteredEditLinks' );
  

• Configure as required.
•  Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

Known issues
