I am trying to create a new Wiki account, but there is no place to enter text for CAPTCHA. asked 17 Sep '16, 16:45  aaronantrim edited 18 Sep '16, 00:02  aseerel4c26 ♦ |

we had this question before: https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/50567/wiki-accountpage-creation-error . Your issue may be the same (sadly not really a solution). Sorry about this - please just try again. Maybe with another browser. We have big spam problems, so the annoying captchas are needed. answered 18 Sep '16, 00:03 aseerel4c26 ♦ edited 18 Sep '16, 11:07 |
If you already have OSM login credentials just use those. As for the place to add the text in the CAPTCHA I can see it in my browser (Safari on iOS) so perhaps you should try another. answered 17 Sep '16, 18:26  logrady edited 17 Sep '16, 20:27 |
as far as I know, the wiki login is separate from the "OSM login".
My OSM login credentials also work on the wiki but I may have set them up at the same time.
When I wanted to post to http://forum.openstreetmap.org I went to register and got this message, "This forum is not accepting new registrations". I posted about this to my local talk mailing list, was told to use OSM credentials and it worked.
@logrady: just for info, at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Accounts the different accounts are listed. Wiki account is clearly a separate one from the "osm account". Yes, you may have used the same username and password for this separate wiki registration (which is not a bad decision, in my opinion).
