Description

Is it somehow possible to create an account on labtestwikitech? Altough it is only a test wiki there are many informations that are extremely outdated and can confuse people who are not aware of the outdated content, so I would like to update these pages there. Since it is not possible to edit logged out, I would like to create an account, but this seems to be not possible as well.

Event Timeline

@Ameisenigel: Page says "Any changes you make here will most likely be erased at random" so I'm not sure why you'd like to make edits that will get overwritten?

CC'ing @aborrero or @bd808 who are admins on that wiki and hopefully can clarify what that wiki is (not) for (could only find https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikitech stating that it is a "test/staging version").

There is a banner at the top of each page that should clarify what's going on:

THIS IS A TEST WIKI

Any changes you make here will most likely be erased at random. Any virtual machines you create may be deleted at random. Any user accounts you create may be altered or deleted. Really you shouldn't use this wiki at all unless you're hacking on OpenStack or OpenStackManager.

In particular this sentence: Really you shouldn't use this wiki at all unless you're hacking on OpenStack or OpenStackManager.

We could probably just delete all content from the wiki to avoid confusion. The only use that wiki has today is to allow account creation for our testing openstack deployment codfw1dev. That's topic for another task though.
