Wiki email confirmation broken?
Moodguy:
Hi, on http://doom.chaosforge.org/wiki/index.php?title=Pistol I wanted to fill in the missing weapon_source parameter and registered an account (User:Moodguy). In order to be able to edit, I apparently need to confirm my email. However, no confirmation code arrived. I re-requested a confirmation code under "my preferences", but still no email arrived. The email address I entered is correct, and I also succeeded in sending a test email to myself. Is email confirmation broken, or have I missed something?
Best,
Moodguy

Have you checked your spam folder? Quite often Wiki-style mail gets directed there automatically.
If that fails, who is your e-mail provider? I seem to recall certain ones having trouble receiving confirmation e-mails from Chaosforge.
Moodguy:
Nothing in the spam folder. Email provider is Global Message Exchange (gmx.net). I tried with a different email account now, and guess what, it worked like a charm. Thank you for this hint!
In my edit, I also added a category just for kicks. (http://doom.chaosforge.org/wiki/index.php?title=Pistol) Unfortunately, the category bar at the bottom looks a little ugly (it appears to keep the default MediaWiki colours). Can these colours be changed to match the general DoomRL style?
Best,
Moodguy

Glad to hear that your confirmation e-mail problem was easy to fix. :)
I'm actually not that up to date on the wiki information. Your best bet for those sorts of questions is getting onto the #chaosforge channel on quakenet on IRC. The main wiki updaters and maintainers tend to hand around there pretty often.
Otherwise, you might send Game_Hunter a private message. If he's not the one to contact, he should be able to point you in the right direction.

So that's why nobody uses categories...
Well that and proper infoboxes are all on the wishlist. AAAny day now KK will descend from the heavens and fix that. Any day now...
