Cannot create account on docs.pfsense.org
-
As far as i can tell the only option i have is "Log in"
i enter fake credentials and click the Log in button, and get the error:
Login error There is no user by the name "asdf". Check your spelling.
If i instead enter fake credentials and click the E-mail new password button, i get the error:
There is no user by the name "Asdf". User names are case sensitive. Check your spelling, or create a new account.
Fortunatly create a new account is a secret link, which i click, and get the error:
You do not have permission to create this user account, for the following reason:
You are not allowed to execute the action you have requested.How about instead of not allowing people to create accounts, people are allowed to create accounts?
While we're at it: how about instead of requiring people to create accounts, people are not requried to create accounts?
While we're at it: rather than changing the default look of the wiki, leave the default MediaWiki theme?

Registration is disabled due to spammers. I can create an account for you if you'd like, e-mail wikiadmin@pfsense.org or send me a PM with the username, password, and e-mail address you want to use.
This is a necessity, unfortunately. If access is left open, it gets hit constantly by spammers. It still happens on the Dev wiki from time to time, and is a regular problem on the forum also but we clean it up faster than most people see it. There is no way it could be left as open-access.
The design of the wiki site is set. It was redesigned recently and looks really nice. Why drop a good-looking theme and go with a vanilla default theme that doesn't set the site apart from thousands of other wikis?

Not really a Wiki then, is it.
i was hoping to contribute to the Wiki; add some documentation. Plus it could really use some organization; rather than the haphazard random jumble of tid-bits that people have thrown into a pile.

It's not much of a wiki when it's overrun by spammers, either. :-)
If you really want an account, just mail us at wikiadmin@pfsense.org, but don't make any giant changes like reorganization without asking first.
It isn't really all that haphazard/random, though there could be some better distinction between How-Tos and FAQs.
