Is there some special way of logging into the wiki?

Like saand, I too have not been able to edit wiki pages.

Working on the Open ReVolt wiki, I have been waiting for weeks to make edits, and add projects to it

I've been working on trying to fix the wiki. The software is evidently very temperamental (aka bad); when I updated and killed the user bridge, normal log in was working for me fine, and Weather Spotter was also able to log in with no problem, but now, with nothing having change on the admin side, the log in and account create functions are magically broken. It's 1 AM, so it'll have to wait for me to get to it tomorrow, but that doesn't necessarily mean a solution will be forthcoming.

Sorry for the issues people, but this is the price we pay for using wikipedia's software I suppose

OK fellows,

I think I got the wiki stuff working again. Updated to yet another version of the software. Try logging in with the first letter of your username in caps and the password you used when you first used the wiki, which might not be your current one.

IE, user wikitest would be

Wikitest
oldpassword

Theoretically. I can change passwords, but of course there's no easy way to do it and I just need to go stick it in the database manually, so if you need password help still, send me another PM with your desired password and I'll try to get it working.

Hi Benjamin,
Thanks for your efforts on fixing up the wiki,
I attempted to log in using my existing user name with the first letter in caps then my password which has never changed. The login fails suggesting the password is wrong.

Also if someone has not used the wiki before will they be able to login as well?

Thanks

New wiki users should be able to sign up on the wiki normally. I'll check out the login issue right now, but if you need to make any changes soon it might be easier to just sign up for a new account.

I just checked out the sign up form, and it is working (and requires very little info).

I just tried creating a wiki account and it works without problem now.

Thanks for your help Benjamin
