Hi all,

We have removed the developer account signup from Wikitech and are now directing new users towards https://idm.wikimedia.org instead. 

This is the first step in the implementation of our new identity manager, and a small step towards making Wikitech a little less special.

Part of our documentation was updated yesterday, August 30th, and the first accounts have already been successfully created.

Should there be a need to re-enable the account creation process on Wikitech, this can be done by reverting: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/operations/mediawiki-config/+/952209/

If you have any questions, concerns or documentation that needs updating, please reach out to me or the infrastructure foundation team.

Thank you to everyone who helped us get this far.
