Wiki assistance?

So, I've never been able to edit the wiki. It won't accept my username:

Login error: You have not specified a valid user name.


Would anyone know how to a.) fix this problem or b.) be willing to remove the wiki section for Jennifer's Classroom for me: http://www.guildofwriters.com/wiki/Blen ... sroomIndex

The tutorials are really out of date, and I think they're more likely to lead people astray than help them at this point. :?

Thanks!

I essentially made the page an orphan, removing all links to it. Once you remove the URL in your post, then it will essentially be gone.

I don't know what your login would be, Jennifer - your name doesn't show up on the Wiki User List. Maybe you could PM Tsar Hoikas about it.

In case people linked directly to it, or google still brings them there, there should also be a note on the page that the information is outdated and where to get up-to-date info.

Definitely. Whenever possible it's better to edit a page/article mentionning "this article is outdated, go there instead/use our search function etc", rather than to remove it entirely, as doing so will only confuse some people who stumble on the page 'out of context'.

Thanks Robert. And I'll e-mail Hoikas about it too. :)

No problem, Jennifer!

And thanks for adding the disclaimer to the Wiki page, diafero.
