Thanks.
We're aware, but none of the Admins are available at the moment; so we cannot really do much about it.
First attack started yesterday, we managed to contain and purge all spam pages, and also blocked all spam accounts/IPs, followed by hardening wiki access (edits by anonymous users were disabled and account registration flow changed a bit). It apparently worked but it didn't last for much time, as today we've been hit by another wave.
This time we, wiki admins, just standed back and contacted people with server-side access to take more serious action since there wasn't much we could do, other than deleting and banning spam pages/accounts, and that was obviously not working as more and more spam were spawning at every minute. Anyway, it (hopefully) should be addressed now, all spam was purged and changes on the server-side is blocking new spam attempts. We are also better suited with some new tools in case we get hit by future spam attacks...

So that's why I can't edit anything at the wiki anymore.
I've recently picked up some Wii and Gamecube games again and wanted to do some reporting to the wiki but couldn't do anything even if I were logged in. Anybody know who I should contact to get access to editing again? 08-11-2017, 04:46 AM
What's your username on the wiki and what error (if any) you're receiving when you try to edit something?

Did you just make the account? You need to make an account and wait three days until you'll be able to post.
It's really locked down, but that spam wave was SO bad, so... ![]() Windows 10 x64 | Core i9-9900k | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 EVGA FTW3 Ultra| 32GB DDR4-3000 | Asus Xonar Essence STX on Logitech Z-2300 | Logitech G903 Hero

I made the account a while ago and did some editing a year or two ago so I should be clear of the "three days" thingy =P
