You need to make a separate account on the Wiki, don't you?

There's some sort of connection between forum account and wiki account, since changing your forum password also changes your wiki password. I think I didn't have to create a separate wiki account, but I'm not sure.

Hey, I also can't login. When I click "register" it redirects me to the forum suggesting accounts should be the same. But if I try to login to wiki using my forum credentials, I get an error:
"Login error: You have not specified a valid user name."
Any help would be appreciated.

afaik underscore in a name ( the _ thingy ) is preventing the wiki from finding / accepting the username

Hmm, is there any chance to fix that? Wikipedia doesn't have a problem with underscores in login name... (it treats it like spaces which it also allows)

that is probably the problem, wiki plugin searching in the forum database for 'm gol' while only 'm_gol' exists

I assume you also had this problem?
Do you know who to contact about this?

I have just written to Wolfire, let's see what they say.
EDIT: Eric from Wolfire proposed to change my username and I agreed to remove the underscore. I suppose this is the only thing they can do in a simple way.
