Equivalent Magic URL for wiki 2.0 users?
I understand that wiki 2.0 does not have Magic URL. Is there a way for 2.0 user to invite people so they DON'T have to create a wiki account? My wiki has a page for my workplace to sign up for a potluck. Having to sign up for a wiki account will not work with this group. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks!
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?Hi Tinoose- all users must have a PBwiki Account.
One workaround - You could create a generic PBwiki Account and share that information with your users. It would be difficult to see who is making what post, but this would be the easiest solution for you. -
Inappropriate?Why take this feature away? -
Inappropriate?Hi Rob, We wanted to consolidate the way people logged into PBwiki when we moved to 2.0 since there was a lot of confusion with 1.0. User accounts also allow for better traceability.
That being said, we also want PBwiki user accounts to be as easy to use as possible. We've tried to make the signup process very simple, and we recently added the Request Access feature so admins don't have to do all the upfront work of adding users to their wikis. We're also working on some other features to make it easier to get users onto your wiki. These'll be coming down the pipe in the next few months.2 Comments

Janet - Thank you for your reply. The simplicity of the 1.0 method will be missed by the contributors to our wiki which only sees activity at the end of August each year. This wiki is still in the 1.0 format, will the change affect the older wiki? Thanks again! -
No, the new features will only affect 2.0 wikis.
