Authority to approve people for Wiki

[robe]

I've been informed that some folks are having trouble signing up for FOSS4G Boston Code Sprint because they don't have accounts.

To expedite things, can I be given permission to approve wiki account signups?

Thanks, Regina

I welcome Regina in Burocrat Land. What's your Wiki account name Regina ?

I made you a Burocrat, take a look at the "Recent Changes" page, you should get a NOTICE on the top of the page when there are pending requests, with a link to the management page for those: ​https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Special:ConfirmAccounts

NOTE: many spammers try to cheat there, make sure emails are confirmed and references are given.

There's also an alias receiving a notification when new people request access, do you want to be added there too ? If so let me know (in private if you want) which email address to use for that

[robe]

nah not need for that. Already get too much email. I'll check the recent changes when I get breaks.

I'll close as fixed, feel free to reopen if you have problems.

I am getting problem reports from people that want to sign up for the 2020 Code Sprint.

Can I help with wiki account approvals?

kalxas: what's your Wiki username ?

I see in history you may already have those rights:
