hi MZMcBride,
we want to continue to restrict access to this wiki as we don’t see a “general public” need for it. i have added a request account method, using Extension:ConfirmAccount, that i think will provide enough of a filter for now and will hopefully take care of the issue from your point of view as well.
with kind regards, dan

Hi.
Regarding account requests and the test wiki generally: unless there's a _really_ good reason, wikis should not restrict account creation and then rely on a public mailing list in order to request an account. It looks like the use of this extension is already tied to a specific MediaWiki user group, so I can't see any reason to restrict account creation on this test wiki. Setting up a requests page on this test wiki would be a much better approach, in my opinion.
