MythTV Wiki Account
I've just about finished configuring a new installation of MythTV & have a few things to add to the wiki (partly so they're there when I need them next time).
I'm completely stumped as to how to generate an account on the Wiki (the login page has no register link & I can't see one anywhere else).
Can anyone help?

Re: MythTV Wiki Account
Hmm, good question. I managed to find the Create account link, but when you press it, guess what: you can't because access is restricted to Administrators

You could always just post your tips and steps here on the forum as an Info post in the interim. At least it would still help people who look here and you if you need to find it again in the future.

Re: MythTV Wiki Account
I just edited this page, adding the hdtv7 card. I just had to log in to mythtv.org (not the same as the forum) And I'm not an admin here.

Note that I created my wiki login account many years ago. Maybe its restricted now. This was my first edit in years.

Re: MythTV Wiki Account
The MythTV wiki seems to be part of MediaWiki, so see if this maybe works for you:

Thanks for the thought.mythbuntubox wrote:The MythTV wiki seems to be part of MediaWiki, so see if this maybe works for you:

Mediawiki is the software that the Myth wiki runs on (it's what Wikipedia uses too), and that website is the home for the software.
Unfortunately I think that means it's not relevant for a login on the Myth wiki.
Re: MythTV Wiki Account
It's possible new logins have temporarily been disabled due to another sustained attack from the spammers. When things calm down it should be re-enabled.

Please try again now.
Re: MythTV Wiki Account
I'm running into this same issue now. I was able to create a forum account, but can't get an account on the wiki. I've been running Myth for about 3 years and figure it's time I contribute a little. I'm willing to put some time into updating the wiki if I can get an account.
Re: MythTV Wiki Account
Same here actually. I wanted to add a little to an existing wiki entry, but registrations are disabled. When going to the create account page it indicates that only administrators have access.

Re: MythTV Wiki Account
It tends to remain disabled atm to prevent spam attacks. A proper solution is being implemented.
In the meantime, a request on #mythtv-users on a weekday usually results in a lurking admin re-enabling it long enough for you to register.
