Thank you. I created a ticket in the "web login issue" category, pointing at this thread in the web archive of this list. I totally understand and support your concerns however, may I suggest that your webmaster creates an SQL ASCII export of the (clean) Wiki database and 'grep' it for all contributor names, then whitelist them ? This should not require more than one (at worst two) man.hours of work. TPV developers are not the only contributors to the Wiki, and you are loosing valuable contributions by keeping the Wiki locked down in read- only mode for everyone, including legit/old/well known contributors... Alternatively, you might ask your webmaster to add a banner to all Wiki pages for logged-in Wiki users, explaining that the Wiki is locked down and that they should open a support ticket to get it enabled in write mode for their account (of course, the support team might get swamped with requests, thus why I think the contributors grepping+whitelisting is a better solution).
