Editing won't work for me either ;_;

I can view the wiki just fine, and other people have even made edits. :S

Vista, we had several discussions, and the answer has always been no.

On average, how long does it take for someone to get their wiki account approved?

The reason I asked about the delay for account approval is because I want to understand what we might be missing by not letting anyone with a Scratch account to edit the wiki. I am still not convinced it is a problem. I'd be convinced if I had some evidence such as the number of people who seemed valuable contributors to the wiki not wanting to contribute because of the delay in account approval. I definitely do not see the value of opening to wiki so that even people without Scratch accounts can edit it.

Here's the whole (long) discussion, if you want to read it. 

Well, I always stay logged in on the wiki. 


And I still cannot edit. :(((

Yes, but that still does not answer my question, really... is it because of the MediaWiki limitation or otherwise? I can understand the fact that we shouldn't just let anonymous users log in, but what about existing users of the wiki? Shouldn't they be able to be logged in to both the wiki and their scratch account simultaniously? At the very least, members of both Google and YouTube only have to sign in to Google, and it only takes one click to sign into YouTube. In my humble opinion, it should be the same on the Scratch Website and the Wiki.

But Vista, say someone were o get into a Scratch account that has a Wiki account.  They could do loads of damage not only on Scratch, but on the wiki as well.  It may even be harder to clean up the mess on the wiki than on the main website/forums.  Also, say a admin's account, then they could do even more damage.  It's just too risky.

How come sci can log in?

I'm getting the same issue. :\

scimonster, can you try logging out and then back in again?

I can't think of anything... Someone apparently bypassed the message on an iPad.

Who? I can try it on my iPad.

I don't remember, but you can try if you have a Wiki account...
