Wait a while. The wiki is being bombarded by spammers and bots, so unfortunately we had up the protection level.

Isn’t there a way to manually add an account for key-real to wiki?
It should not be possible for spammers and bots to lock legitimate users out of the wiki.

I also tried to register a while ago and like in @Key-Real my IP address was blocked - I'm sure I answered the verification question correctly.

Maybe other people in your domain were spamming so whole domain was blocked or even whole country? :o

before trying to register a wikipedia account worked without problems, when trying to register the ip address was blocked, I also tried with a vps, and its ip was also blocked.
Now I can't display Lazarus wiki at all from this two locations

Maybe you can contact Jonas: he handles most of the blocking in the wiki.
I think we have blocked each end every new registered user for several weeks now.

Can please you PM me the IP addresses, on which dates you tried to register the accounts, and the user names you used?

The initial block is one hour. In case of repeat detections, it can grow up to a week.

I’m curious about who keeps attacking the wiki. Where are they from and what do they do in there?

The danger is that the wrong person, ie. me, can end up coming under suspicion, as this ill-advised quote from Thaddy illustrates...
https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,68709.msg531569.html#msg531569

See the rest of the thread for context :o

By the way, are you the Joanna who was once a leading Delphi specialist and a member of TeamB? If so, hello... we haven't exchanged virtual bytes for many, many years 😉
