The Create Server Wiki is publicly readable. Registration and sign-in use Discord so that each wiki account is tied to a community identity. Local usernames and passwords are not used for ordinary accounts.
Newly registered accounts can read the wiki but cannot edit immediately. An administrator reviews the account and grants the approved editor group when appropriate. Approval permits editing and creating ordinary articles, moving pages, and uploading files. It does not permit changes to protected templates, policy pages, interface messages, or the Main Page.
Requesting approval
After signing in with Discord, ask a wiki administrator for editing access and provide your wiki username. Administrators grant or remove access through Special:UserRights.
Protected areas
The Main Page, the Template namespace, project-policy pages, and the MediaWiki interface namespace are reserved for administrators. Protection keeps high-use formatting and policy pages stable while allowing approved editors to work on articles.
Automated safeguards
Edits are checked by AbuseFilter. Administrators can inspect matches at Special:AbuseLog, review filters at Special:AbuseFilter, and use Special:Nuke for emergency cleanup.
