Linda Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 EDITED: This thread has been superseded by a new method of requesting an account, via a forum that only users who are qualified to receive an account can see. The minimum qualification to be able to edit the wiki is to have 5 or more posts on the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linda Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 Thank you for reporting this issue! We have now sorted it out, we believe, and anyone who has tried registering before should try again. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nezi0 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 so now i have to wait for a new email? because when i click the link(old one), i still get ''Invalid confirmation code. The code may have expired.'' so I tried requesting another account, to which i got, Sorry, you have already requested 1 account. You cannot make any more requests.

Ran Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Afraid I don't see any request from you in the database, so I don't know why that message is happening. Only thing I can think of is that you may have a cookie saying you've requested, in which case my suggestion is to go into your browser settings and delete all cookies labelled as connected to awoiaf.westeros.org, then try your request again.

Zizoz Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Is there a way to tell if I already have a wiki account? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda Posted July 9, 2015 Author Share Posted July 9, 2015 Go to the wiki and try logging in with your forum username and password. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zizoz Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 It said incorrect password, so I assumed that meant I didn't have an account and requested a new one -- was that the right thing to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linda Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 For anyone waiting on their wiki registration to be approved, apologies about the delay. It has become clear too us that this way of doing it is much too work-intensive and not sustainable. We will have to consider what other options exist, but the manual approval in its current form is not useable as it takes too long to check that someone is indeed a member of the forum and has the required three posts. It also seems most people register without reading the instructions and thus we spend a lot of time denying accounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gameofworms Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 So...is there currently no way to join the wiki, then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda Posted September 12, 2015 Author Share Posted September 12, 2015 Unfortunately not, no. Having open registration leads to a huge amount of spam accounts that we have to weed through manually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynical Classicist Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 There seems to be problem with my login. I type in the name and password yet it doesn't login, which is odd as it seemed to be working fine earlier this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
