add new lines at end of file:

$wgAutoConfirmAge =  5 * 3600 * 24, // 5 days to pass isNewbie()
$wgAutoConfirmCount = 10;	// and have ten edits

=== #4 ===
The variables in lines 193-196 appear to all be assigned blanks. Could you please confirm this, or otherwise. (If blank a further CR will be made next week)

Man Thanks!

Any issues please ping AlisonW on irc or drop an email to [e-mail] or reply to bugzilla. Smoke signals sadly don't work at night.
