There was a problem with spammers registering accounts, so now accounts are [[Special:RequestAccount|available upon reasonable request]].
There was a problem with spammers registering accounts, so now accounts are [[Special:RequestAccount|available upon reasonable request]].
# Only a choice of '''username''' and a '''valid email''' address are required to get an account. The other fields are optional.
# After you have requested an account you will receive an email from ''s e r v i c e s ''@ stop-synthetic-filth.org asking you to click the link in the email to verify your email, because to prevent spam and malicious actors, it is highly likely that '''only''' account requesters that ''' have verified''' their '''email''' will be '''accepted'''.
# Your account request will be processed. We will never sell or hand over your email addresses to 3rd parties.
The [[mw:Extension:ConfirmAccount]] settings are as follows:
<code>$wgMakeUserPageFromBio = false;</code>
<code>$wgAutoWelcomeNewUsers = false;</code>
<code>$wgConfirmAccountRequestFormItems = array(
        'UserName'        => array( 'enabled' => true ), # Your choice of user name
        'RealName'        => array( 'enabled' => false ), # Not asked, this would be a nice field to have, if it was possible to add it as an optional field
        'Biography'      => array( 'enabled' => false, 'minWords' => 50 ),
        'AreasOfInterest' => array( 'enabled' => false ),
        'CV'              => array( 'enabled' => false ),
        'Notes'          => array( 'enabled' => true ), # Optional / Can be blank - Any info you want to provide
        'Links'          => array( 'enabled' => true ), # Optional / Can be blank - Any info you want to provide
        'TermsOfService'  => array( 'enabled' => false ),
