Account Creation

Hello Alex, I was just curious, how and where do you see requests by users who want help with creating their accounts? I might be interested in that project . Regards Megan Barris (Lets talk📧) 21:34, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

Synoman Barris, it's done via the account creation interface - see Wikipedia:Request an account/Guide - when a user fills in the form at Wikipedia:Request an account this gets sent to the software, which gives you the information to check, and then the option to create the account, or send an email back to the requestor.

(It used to just be a normal wikipage, but as requesting an account links an IP address, an email address, and an account, this essentially publically checkusered everyone that went through the process, so this was replaced with the current system.) ~~ Alex Noble/1-2/TRB 21:54, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:DB Class 181

Hello, Alex Noble. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "DB Class 181".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! JMHamo (talk) 09:32, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
