You can contribute to the wiki either with or without an account.

Edit without an Account

You can edit most pages without creating an account:

  • Click on the Edit or Edit source tab at the top of a page.
  • Make your changes directly in the text area.
  • Click Show preview to review your edits.
  • When you're ready, click Publish changes.

Be aware:

  • Your edits will be attributed to your IP address.
  • You won't have access to watchlists or advanced editing features.

Edit with an Account

Creating a user account lets you contribute with your edits linked to your username instead of your IP address.

How to create an Account

Click on Create account at the top-right corner of the page.

Choose a username (this will be publicly visible). Enter a secure password.

Optionally, add your email address to enable password recovery.

Solve the CAPTCHA and click Create your account.

Once registered:

  • Your username will appear at the top of the page when you are logged in.
  • You will have access to watchlists, user preferences, and other features for editing and tracking changes.
