You do not have permission to do that, for the following reason:

The action you have requested is limited to users in the group user.

You can view and copy the source of this page:

= info - how to create new wiki accounts? =

* login to the wiki
* choose "special pages" in the left menu
* chose "create an account or login" on top
* fill in the fields "user name", "email" and "real name"
* hit the button "by email"
* send a confirmation mail to the user and the admin list



= spam issues =
as with the start of the wiki having lots of trouble with spam at the moment, I need to document some things here we can do about that situation

just some short notes:

* we have now an rss2email service running so Thomas and Henning get changelog to see shit happening immediately. the mail interval is not once a day, which might be too short

* anybody with administrator status in the wiki can help revert changes manually, as explained here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Reverting

* there seems to be no script available that let one delete all changes made by a specific user. This would pare lots of time, and Henning stars fiddling out how to write that - need some deeper knowledge about the database, some hints must be found somewhere in the mediawiki code. I requested this script at [http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Requests_for_queries mediawiki's request for queries page]

* I have some futher idea for anti-spam measures, documented [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Anti-spam_Features#registration-only_editing  on the discussion page]of the [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Anti-spam_Features mediawiki page for spam functions]

* we should also look if we can implement [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Anti-spam_Features#Content_Banning_Blacklists content banning blacklists] - does that work with 1.4.x? otherwise, we should upgrade!

= Login Page Text =
The text on the login page (that points to email adresse and IRC channel to get an account) is saved on the page [[MediaWiki:Loginprompt]]
It can be edited by people with admin permissions as any other page.

--

eventually, we could also add here some more hints about running the fai wiki
