A link to an information page in basically the same area of the Login would be great Well, we do have it but the link is unclear; this is due to a bug with that specific MediaWiki version and some adaptations needed which I couldn't investigate. If you open https://wiki.openoffice.org/w/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin you will see a big Login button and a link after it, with a wring text like userlogin-helplink wrapped in HTML entities. The link leads to https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Help:Logging_in that explains the account creation process. So the only issue I see is that the link is not properly displayed n the login page due to the known bug we have. Fixing it should not be complex, but I didn't have time to investigate it back at the time. Regards, Andrea. OK. I do not have karma to edit any of the Special Pages. So, we wait until someone who does can fix this I guess. :( -- - MzK “What is the point of being alive if you don't at least try to do something remarkable?” -- John Green, An Abundance of Katherines - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org

The procedure to get an m-wki account is to send a request for an m-wiki account containing your preferred user name and your e-mail address either here or to the documentation mailing list and one of the admins, usually myself or Andrea will create the account.

RE: MediaWiki missing new account icon/Link?
I think it happens by specifying login and there is an avenue to account creation then. I however, don't want to logout and remove my account to see if that is it [;). -Original Message- From: Kay Schenk [mailto:kay.sch...@gmail.com] Sent: Sunday, April 12, 2015 10:18 To: OOo Apache Subject: MediaWiki missing new account icon/Link?
