ATTN: Kevan and Josh

Every henchman needs a wiki account so they can edit the Doomsday Device, and you two are the only active wiki admins.

I can either ask for everyone’s email address and give them the means to create an account, or (I think) just make a load of accounts with the same passwords as the GNDT. But would that be irritatingly insecure, in any way?

Everyone can change their password once they have an account, ne? So it’d be a temporary problem.

And the only insecurities I can see in using the GNDT passwords is that all the admins can see them, which has never been a problem before, and that they’re all dictionary words in lowercase, making them relatively easy to hack, but it’s unlikely that anyone would.

Agreed to whatever is faster and simpler. We truly don’t need to be too paranoid on security.

As I computer security student I disagree, you can never be to paranoid. ;)

But the same password as the GNDT seems okey. Do we also get delete privileges? Then we could delete a few of the spam pages. (Just press random page for spam :) )

I thought I saw a note about being able to log in now, but I can’t.
