.. Can I restrict who can contribute to my WolfWiki?

No. Any registered user with a Unity ID can edit a wiki. However, the wiki technology makes it possible to revert changes that have been made to a wiki page.

Eh, yes reverting is possible but only in you have sysop privs and the library people hoard those for themselves and do not want to police this wiki.....

Unless I am misunderstanding the issue, it appears to me that you do not need "sysop" privileges to revert a page to a previous state. Following these instructions allows a normal user to revert a page. See for example the history of EP's Sandbox, which was edited and then reverted by a different (non-sysop) user. -- Efpauley 1:03 pm, 15 September 2006

Nope, normal users can move pages but not revert them. The only thing a user can do is to start re-editing an older version of the page, this works like reversing but throws the historical record out of whack and is therefore not encouraged.
