In the past, wiki account creation was free for anyone. Once created, the user was able to edit and add pages at will. This caused a lot of spam appearing on the wiki.

	~~Then I changed~~ the ~~configuration so that newly created accounts would have to validate its email address BEFORE being able to add / edit pages~~.		We enabled OpenID, but that stopped working around 2015 as the service became unsupported.

	~~This measure eliminated the creation of spam in~~ wiki ~~pages.~~		Currently a wiki admin approves new accounts. We are looking for automatic login, without requiring an admin to approve accounts.

	~~However, spammers would still create some accounts every day (because they thought they would be able to add spam pages to the wiki).~~

	~~The continuous creation of~~ new ~~spam~~ accounts ~~is something undesirable, since it adds burden to the administration process of the wiki in the long run~~.

	~~So, I thought it would be best to disable user-initiated wiki account creation~~, ~~leaving this task to me (or any other~~ admin).

	~~But then, I decided~~ to ~~try out the OpenID extension for the wiki (I'm already using OpenID for the forum and for the Drupal community portal).~~

	~~After enabling OpenID on the wiki, I saw some new user~~ accounts ~~being automatically created~~.

	So, I think we can leave this OpenID extension enabled, which allows people to create their own accounts. I suppose spammers won't bother using OpenID to create their accounts, which means we'll have the best of both sides: users can create their accounts on their own without admin intervention AND we won't have new spam accounts on our wiki. Marvelous!

	~~The [[wiki instructions#Logging In\|wiki instructions]] have been updated to reflect this.~~
