I'm reposting this again after like 2 months because I didn't get an answer but I'm curious to know why the Touhou wiki (https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Touhou_Wiki) has registering disabled. They say you should request an account on their Discord, though I don't have and am not willing to make a Discord account as I will never use it, so I don't see what the point in making the account just to use it to request another account on another platform is. There is nowhere on the Touhou wiki itself to discuss this because you need an account to edit, and I don't know how else to get in touch with the admins. I'm wondering if this is maybe to prevent vandals from coming or from other people to mass create accounts. I've always been looking forward to editing on this wiki, but unfortunately I can't. I will most likely make probably blog post pages about my own fanworks and edit things that are outdated, typos, etc.

And I've never been able to do these because they say you have to request your account be made via Discord.

I'm not asking FOR an account, but just asking why and if there could be an alternate way or something, I dunno.

Thanks! <3

To answer this question by technical setup, see Manual:Preventing access. As for why they chose to disable account creations, we are unable to assist.
