===Creating an account=== | ===Creating an account=== | ||
An account is required to edit the wiki; no account is needed simply to read it. Public self-registration is disabled — accounts are arranged through the wiki's administrators. Each account has a '''username''', which is public and permanently associated with your contributions, and a '''password''', which is stored only in encrypted (hashed) form. Providing an '''email address''' is optional; if given, it is used only for account functions such as password resets and any notifications you choose to enable. It is not displayed publicly and is not shared. | |||

Editing requires a logged-in account; the wiki does not permit anonymous editing. Every edit is recorded in the page's history and attributed to your account username. Edit summaries, uploaded files, and discussion-page comments are likewise public and archived indefinitely. Because an account is required to edit, your IP address is not exposed to the public through your contributions. '''Do not add information to the wiki that you are not willing to make permanently public.''' | ||
