request for rewording of login problems sentence
I have been asked by Nemo to review this help page with a view to tagging it for translation. I do not understand the following sentence in the 'login problems' section: If you log in and enabled the cookie feature, a subsequent log in as a different user without the cookie feature enabled will appear as logged out. Who or what will appear as logged out? And should it be "If you log in and enable ..."? Please reword Lloffiwr (talk) 15:49, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
 * I have no idea what it means either. That troubleshooting section was mostly rubbish, as far as I can see; I removed some parts which are surely outdated or belong to a MediaWiki installation guide, you can remove this sentence too. casino online
 * Thank you very much for looking! It also encouraged me to do some copyediting. --Nemo 17:11, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
 * You also asked me a while ago to set this page up for translation. Unfortunately I don't have time at present to learn how to tag for translation so I won't be able to do the tagging. Lloffiwr (talk) 17:27, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
 * No problems, I can do that. :) The most valuable part is what you are already doing. --Nemo 17:50, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

e-mail address preference
"You don't have to give your email address if you don't want to." This is true for all Wikimedia wikis. But is it true for all wikis? Is this something which can be set when a wiki is started? Lloffiwr (talk) 16:11, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
 * That's certainly the default, so it makes sense for it to be reflected here. I'm not sure what's the specific configuration setting to change it, the only way might be to move editing rights from normal user to the emailconfirmed implicit user group. poker online
 * In general, I agree that this page should contain little or no Wikimedia-specific information. --Nemo 16:54, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
 * There are other things on this page which may only apply to Wikimedia. Do you know of a coder who can specifically identify Wikimedia-specific information? We could then reword to "may" instead of "will" or just add a sentence about the page giving information on the MediaWiki default configuration - user may need to check with the wiki administrator. Lloffiwr (talk) 17:20, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm not a coder but I can do that fairly easily. ;) --Nemo 17:50, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

Families
I'd remove the whole "Some projects using MediaWiki software form a family [...]" paragraph, it doesn't look useful. --Nemo 16:59, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Could shift it to the "unified login" section. Or delete totally if you prefer. Lloffiwr (talk) 17:06, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, I moved it there and reduced it considerably. It makes little sense to duplicate here information about specific farms. It was very funny to read that Wikia has more than 1000 wikis, they have about 340 thousands now. :) --Nemo 17:15, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

proposed addition to logging out section
Is this proposed addition to the "logging out" section correct? Lloffiwr (talk) 17:02, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Some wikis log users out automatically after a certain time with no activity. You may then receive a warning message that you are logged out, if you try to save an edit; but only if the wiki was customised to provide a warning message.
 * Only partially. It's not really about lack of activity, just how long the cookie lasts. The warning message exists by default at MediaWiki:anoneditwarning. --Nemo 17:49, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

✅ marked by Lloffiwr (talk) 18:04, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

Ready?
Lloffiwr, do you consider this ready for being marked for translation? --Nemo 19:44, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the delay in replying. I have made two minor amendments to the grammar to improve readablility, without changing the meaning. Apart from that it looks fine to me. Lloffiwr (talk) 14:19, 22 March 2014 (UTC)

Hello,obat peninggi badan

I would like to have single sign on for my account on commons and de - wikipedia. On commons i can log in. On the de-wp i forgot my passwort and have no email there. What could i do? Who can help me to get access to my de account? Heinz-Josef Lücking (talk) 11:37, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

WMF
I'm just curious why there is the option to log in to WMF's site but usernames aren't recognized and it is not possible to register an account? And it is not possible to edit, like ask a question on a talk page, anonymously. If this site is only for the use of WMF employees, and this appears to be the case, I'm not sure why the log-in option even appears to every other user who comes across these pages.

Jesmion's talk
Help, incase if somebody commit offence or made a mistakes and is blocked indefinitely, how many days is indefinite: and if that is true of no date for indefinite why indefinite? some times somebody is accused and is globally blocked contrally to the law of openness, openaccess and openeducation, that's mean that, any    community member or agent/administator who block or delete any writeup in any way without correcting and teaching the writer properly has committed a global offence and must be querried, because the administrator has committed offence and break openness policy

Allowed usernames and capitalisation
I added something on Meta, which indulges in gory details: (it's otherwise documented in the pages about those config variables). Few users care and it's not appropriate to add manual links from such a help page; is there a manual page where such information should be summarised, or is the current documentation sufficient? --Nemo 07:55, 8 August 2014 (UTC)

Precisely, wikipedian admins and its administrators has reduced the public tensions that could have lead many to hypertensive coma, now the wikipedians could be restassured of  any suspension following the unavoidable mistakes untill perfection could take place, thanks? 41.190.14.72 21:21, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

Jesmion's aghast
Hi, in a situation where a wikipenian is blocked and could'nt access his/her pages or username, may be due to unconstructive or misspelling etc, and in case if the wikipedian has recollected, presumed to continue, what would he/she do hence the administrators/admins has indefinitely blocked him/her, or globally blocked him, i mean, an illitrate can be litrate tomorrow, where would he place unblocked hence he's globally blocked, i mean we need to be considerate knowing that a person can do better tomorrow than today, if the wikipedia is not having enough teachers that would correct and teach the wikipedians, i Jesmion have volunteered be one of the wikipedia teacher to reduce intolerance of the administrators, if i Jesmion were the administrators, i wouldn't wait for any wikipedian to apologise to me before unblocking the wikipedian, or may be the automated computer need to be reconstructed to minimise expelling, blocking and deleting wikipedians that are expected to be better tomorrow: -- am Jesmion 41.220.69.188 07:28, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

Logged out periodically
Nearly always when I want to edit a Wikipedia page, I'm not logged in anymore. I don't know when it happens, but every few days I'm logged out without doing it myself. I use the same PC, same browser, no private browsing, cookies allowed, etc. I edit pages every few weeks, so not very frequently. Is it a weird feature that I get logged out every 7 or 30 or whatever days, like on some other pages? I haven't seen a note saying this. Fabian42 (talk) 15:10, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

Why does login on Wikitech require a token
What is a token? Where do I get one? I can't register my account here and can't login either.

So where is the temporary password request feature?
"If you enter an email address when signing up for the account, or in your Preferences, you can make a request on the login screen for a temporary password to be sent to that address, which will allow you to retrieve your account." But on the login screen there is no such request option that I can see. My email is rosharuo@gmail.com and I don't know if I've got an account here or not. I thought my username would be either Haruo or Leland Bryant Ross, and my password would be lbrnpusa, but those aren't working. Can you send me a reply at that email address? The project I'm trying to login to is uea.org/wiki/, here's a screenshot of the page in question. My computer supplied the hidden ******** password, which should be lbrnpusa. --Haruo (talk) 16:05, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
