Just had another professor tell me that he could not get to the registration page of the course. He tried both by clinking the link and by copy/pasting the url into his browser. We meet tomorrow and Ill let you know how many could and could not. This is the link to the registration to the course http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Especial:Inscripci%C3%B3n/Tec_de_Monterrey,_Campus_Ciudad_de_Mexico/Capacitacion_de_profesores_()

Just copy and paste the address generated at the bottom of the course page. I dont know what the difference is. We just tried it again now and it worked.

Everything works fine as long as you do not add a slash sign into your page name. Slash is a no-no. best regards Vojtěch Dostál místopředseda / vice-chairman Wikimedia Česká republika / Wikimedia Czech Republic http://www.wikimedia.cz Facebook | Twitter | Newsletter 2014-12-06 23:21 GMT+00:00 Sage Ross <[email protected]>: On Sat, Dec 6, 2014 at 2:59 PM, Leigh Thelmadatter <[email protected]> wrote: > I think Ive mentioned this here before but its still a problem > > Last semester, we had nine classes in the es.wiki course extension.
