My last email got no reply.
Elaborating on why I sent it: Debian, arch, ubuntu, wikipedia, etc, all have links from their login page to register for the wiki and fix a forgotten password. Fedora doesn't. It obviously should. Instead, we have a link to a very long article which contains links a link to a different registration page, which is easy to miss, and it gives the impression that you should spend 30 minutes reading very boring page before contributing to the wiki.
I do not have the wiki permissions to fix this. To fix it, give me permissions, or someone who has them should edit https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Loginprompt to include this: [[/NewAccount| Create a new Fedora Account]] and this [https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts/user/resetpass Forgot Password?]

Hello Ian,
Elaborating on why I sent it: Debian, arch, ubuntu, wikipedia, etc, all have links from their login page to register for the wiki and fix a forgotten password. Fedora doesn't. It obviously should.

You have to log in the wiki with your FAS account, I don't see any issue about this. Am I wrong?

This is a link to a FAS page, nothing more. If you log in with your FAS account, you'll be able to edit it.
Is there anything I missed?
See you.
Gabri.

Good call, I like it. I don't have edit permissions on that page, either. This problem needs more Ians on it!

I like it too. As we use a centralized authentication system named FAS, if you need to recover your pass, you should be redirected to FAS where you actually are going to get reset your pass instead of reading how to get there.

+1 for updating that text to be something more useful
the websites team should be able to help you (either by getting the perms, or putting you in contact with someone that has them)
you can file a ticket for them here: https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-websites/
