Problems with the Koha wiki - registration and editing for new users
Hi Massoud. I'm having a similar problem editing the wiki as well. I've registered, but have yet to receive a confirmation email (which is required before you can edit a page). There also seems to be a lot of 'spammy' new user account registrations on the "Recent changes' page as well. Is this something we should log a bug report for? Regards.

Hello,
Koha Users Worldwide ( http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_Users_Worldwide) pages include hundreds of libraries running on Koha from all over the world. I assume all of these libraries have been added by the libraries themselves.
I am a registered user in Koha wiki and I can log in fine. However, I we ave been trying to add few Koha libraries in our regions to the wki page in a new region or a sub-section of an existing region but there is no Add/Submit button to find. Can we get someone to help here please ?

I also had a partner report a similar problem. I think I emailed about it (or put it in IRC) a while back. Nicole On Wed, May 30, 2012 at 10:12 AM, David Nind <david.nind@gmail.com> wrote:

Maybe, but I think maybe first you should try an email address with better spam filters than Google Mail. Ideally, something where you can check the server mail logs and see if any attempt is made. I say that because I had some kohacon12 sponsors report not receiving autoreplies from the main website... and I think all of them used Google Mail, as do you and kwareict.com mail is handled by 30 aspmx5.googlemail.com. It's not like the autoreplies were form emails that looked like spam, so I suspect Google have cranked up the filtering to paranoid and don't give a toss about mediawiki users. Alternatively, maybe one of the wiki sysadmins can check its mail logs. It wouldn't be the first time it stopped emailing people.

I tried another email address (yahoo.co.nz) and haven't received a confirmation email. I also checked the spam folder for Gmail, but nothing was in there (apart from spam, of course).

Not sure if you're trolling but I'll assume not. Yahoo and AOL are about the only spam filters worse than Google. Hotmail/WinLive is also a poor service. All of them reject spam without telling you or giving you any way to check for it - the spam folder is only a small fraction of it. Yahoo even deploys countermeasures against sending servers, even for erroneous spam detections, which is just rude. I think the wiki just gives up if email is rejected (after all, what can it do?). I'm not sure what to recommend. I use various mailboxes from my co-op ISPs, so don't have much call to use free webmails at the mo. Anyone got one they know works with the wiki, please?

I was trying to edit the wiki and had the same problem, no confimration email. I tried, yahoo and gmail as well. Nothing in my work outlook spam filters.

Looks very much like the servers stopped mailing out to me.. To note, I run a number of mediawiki sites, and have never had an issue with their mails being sent to spam in gmail or otherwise.. It's probably more of a server setup error at the mediawiki end. Might be worth someone checking the reverse dns entries and things for that server. Just me two pence.

Hello David, Thank you for sharing your case with us in regard to Koha wiki page problem. A friend of mine from Algeria, Kouider Bounama, is also facing the same issue: his email is yet to be confirmed. I though by being able to login I should be able to submit koha library records in our region. Looking at the Presences page, I realized that I still need my email confined like you and Bounama. I think you are correct; the problem seems to be caused by a bug and yes I support your suggestion to submit a bug report. Would it be convenient for you to do the submission? Thanks Massoud M.
