[Koha] Koha wiki maintenance change

[Galen Charlton]

Hi,

To combat a recent spate of spamming on the wiki [1], in order to edit a page the wiki now requires that your account has a confirmed email address.  Specifically, this means that new users will be required to supply an email address when they create an account, then respond to an email sent by the wiki in order to confirm the account.

If you already have an account on the wiki but are no longer able to edit pages, you will need to confirm your email address.  To do so:

1. Log in with your account.
2. Go to the preferences page [2]
3. Add an email address if necessary
4. In the email section, click on the link or button to send a confirmation email.  If the wiki says that it already sent you an email, you will need to have it resend it.
5. Follow the instructions in the email to confirm your account.

I apologize for any inconvenience.  If you run into any problems, please feel free to email me or one of the other wiki administrators [3] directly.

Regards,

Galen
