I think any admin can do this for you, if you're in good standing. But that slows down the session, so I only use it as a fall-back; what I usually do now is ask participants to set up accounts, in advance of training sessions. The wording I use, which you're welcome to copy or adapt, is: Sign up at <https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin for a Wikipedia account; when given the option, please give an email address (it's always hidden, and you can turn off the ability for people to send you messages; but giving an address means you can recover lost passwords).the account name may be pseudonymous, but is personal to the individual, so not "Anytown Library" or suchlike. -- Andy Mabbett @pigsonthewing http://pigsonthewing.org.uk On 9 February 2013 11:53, Nkansah Rexford <nkansahrexford@gmail.com<javascript:;>> wrote: > Hi, my name is Rexford > I wish to find out why wikipedia allows only 6 account creation from a > network sharing the same IP address. > I never knew something like that existed. > Any reasons?
