Wiki Edit Login?

[thomast77]

When trying to edit the wiki for my county it asks me to login in even though I am already logged in to Radio Reference. If I enter my username/password for Radio Reference it says:
"Login error:
There is no user by the name "xxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxx.xxx". Check your spelling, or create a new account."
I would like to enter the 10 Codes and Dispatch Signals for my county's Sheriff Department.

Just click on the :Log In / Create Account link on the Wiki main page and follow the steps to create an account. The Wiki has a separate user database from the main RadioReference database.

Looking forward to your article in the Wiki!

I click Log in / create account. It says "Login with your regular RadioReference.com Username and Password". It gives no option to register. I tried it from the main wiki homepage and from the county wiki page. Attached is a screenshot.

Sorry for the mix-up on my part.

I looked in the Wiki user list and I see a Thomast77. Note that the first letter is capitalized. I have noticed in the past that the Wiki login is case sensitive, so try it that way.

If that doesn't work, we may need to get Lindsay or Eric involved. They have more tools at their disposal than I do.

That did it! Thanks for the help I don't know why it is capitalized like that though. I never did that? Just some sort of hiccup in the system I guess.

I think it's just a quirk of MediaWiki. All page names have an initial capital letter, and I think usernames do to.

This is correct.

Same problem

I went to add something to my counties Wiki page and I am having the same problem I have tried using the cap, I tried to create a new account and I also just deleted my cookies thinking just maybe this will work. Well it doesn't. still same crazy message. Can someone let me in on the secret so I can add info to Wiki pages?

See the following page:

Wiki Help - The RadioReference Wiki

The pertinent item is quoted here:

Underscore Usernames
User's with a username that has an "_" (underscore) will not be able to login to the Wiki to edit articles. To fix this, please send a support request to support@radioreference.com to request a username change.
