== User accounts ==

Editing is restricted to people with accounts for ease of site moderation. Any member of the Endurance Coalition Discord may request an account and in 99% of cases it will be accepted outright. This is done by reaching out to any wiki bureaucrat. Non-Endurance Coalition Discord members may still be eligible for an account if they can provide a convincing reason as to why they should. Presuming a bureaucrat does not decline the request, Fleff will be consulted and he will have the final decision making authority on the matter.

An account consists purely of a username and password. If any user forgets their credentials, or their credentials will not work, a bureaucrat can be contacted and they can assign a new password to the user.

Wiki administrators reserve the right to block accounts (e.g the user can login but not edit) for any reason. Bureaucrats reserve the right to decline creating an account for any reason. Editors are required to follow the directions of a wiki administrator when it comes to interacting with the wiki.

=== User privacy notice ===

Prospective editors are advised that the website technically logs the IP address of anyone who logs into an account. Some wikis, such as the English Wikipedia, use the [[mw:Extension:CheckUser|'''CheckUser''']] tool to natively view this data. This tool has purposefully not be installed out of respect for the privacy of editors. However, any user with access to the database of this wiki can view see this information. Something to keep in mind.
