When private mode is turned on and off, a setting to allow anonymous editing is being written. This turns on anonymous editing on the wiki. To fix, drop the code that adds anonymous editing line and implement migration from older settings to newer settings. Closes: #1783. Tests performed: - Install mediawiki with current master. Private mode is disabled by default. Anonymous users can't edit. There is a line for editing set to false in FreedomBoxSettings.php configuration file. Switch to latest code. The line should be removed. private mode is still disabled. Anonymous users should not be able to edit the wiki. - Install mediawiki with current master. Enable private mode. Anonymous users can't edit, login is required to view wiki. There is a line for editing set to false in FreedomBoxSettings.php configuration file. Switch to latest code. The line should be removed. private mode is still enabled. Anonymous users should not be able to edit the wiki. Login is required to view the wiki. - Install mediawiki with current master. Enable private mode and disable it. Anonymous users can edit the wiki. There is a line for editing set to true in FreedomBoxSettings.php configuration file. Switch to latest code. The line should be removed. private mode is still disabled. Anonymous users should not be able to edit the wiki but they can read the wiki. - Install mediawiki with the changes in the branch. Line for editing the wiki is not present in FreedomBoxSettings.php configuration file. Enabling/disabling the private mode does not introduce the line either. When private mode is enabled, login is required to read/edit the wiki. When it is disabled, anonymous users can read the wiki but not edit it.

FreedomBox Service (Plinth)
The core functionality and web front-end of FreedomBox.
Description
FreedomBox is a community project to develop, design and promote personal servers running free software for private, personal communications. It is a networking appliance designed to allow interfacing with the rest of the Internet under conditions of protected privacy and data security. It hosts applications such as blog, wiki, website, social network, email, web proxy and a Tor relay, on a device that can replace your Wi-Fi router, so that your data stays with you.
This module, called FreedomBox Service and also know as Plinth, is the core functionality and web interface to the functions of the FreedomBox. It is extensible and provides various applications of FreedomBox as modules. Each module or application provides simplified user interface to control the underlying functionality. As FreedomBox can act as a wireless router, it is possible to configure networking. It also allows configuration of basic system parameters such as time zone, hostname and automatic upgrades.
You can find more information about FreedomBox Service (Plinth) on the Plinth Wiki page, the FreedomBox Wiki and the FreedomBox Manual.
Getting Started
To have a running FreedomBox, first install Debian (Buster or higher) on a clean machine. Then run:
$ sudo apt install freedombox
Full instructions are available on FreedomBox Manual's QuickStart page.
For instructions on running the service on a local machine from source code, see INSTALL.md. For instructions on setting up for development purposes, see HACKING.md.
