Just want to say that this sounds great!

This problem is why I'm not using PBWiki. Even if the wiki I'm using right now doesn't have preformatted text, I'm still not using PBWiki. It's better for the users when there's annonymous logins. That's what a wiki is about.

Sorry for my bad English. I have this Problem too, need a simple Redirect often. When it will be easyer to get this, i dont like the Code showing on the Post. It should be so simple as the other stuff ...

The "guest" email and password can simply be published in the "this will be seen on the logon page" textbox of the pbwiki settings, so no-one has to remember it.

Annoyingly this does require us (pbwiki creators) to go to an outside system and create a completely separate email address to deal with the new constraints that have been added to the pbwiki login system, instead of having an option within pbwiki to add a guest login.

This is harder to use, with fewer editing options, and less access than a regular website. I like the idea of using a name and a password. Kids can remebr their names but a fake e-mail address and a password is way too much for any reasonable person to ask.

Hello! You can create a generic email address and give it access to your wiki. Then your users can use that email to sign in. Would that work for you? – Rachel Pennig, on May 28, 2008 23:47

Shoot - if there is no way around this then it is a problem for my whole idea of the advantages a wiki is supposed to provide.

I may have picked another provider if I had known this - now it may be too late.

As everyone knows, these days, people are just so concerned about providing email addresses...

A comment on the question "Can I create redirect pages?" in PBwiki:

Just wanted to chime in to support adding some sort of redirect functionality. I just ported a site over from stikipad to pbwiki (www.nextny.org) and it was mostly painless. The icing on the cake would be if I could drop a redirect in to rewrite URLs from the stikipad format to pbwiki (ie, links coming in from offsite, not internal links). – epc, on May 12, 2008 21:35

A comment on the question "Is Javascript supported in PBwiki 2.0?" in PBwiki:

I tried adding jiglu to http://macewan.pbwiki.com , but it doesn't seem to know how to index PBwiki pages very well. – Guy Fawkes, on April 30, 2008 13:42

i bumped into jiglu.com - they have a great tags-that-think tool
it uses a oneliner javascript
is it possible to validate a library of validated javascripts like jiglu's ?
best regards, Ron

Until they get around to actually doing something...

The workaround I've used for the 2.0 Forum Demo Wiki is to create a throwaway email address that I control, add that email as an admin, then publish the email and password on the FrontPage.

Look forward to a new blog post about this issue on Monday.

Hi Tchalvak,

Thanks for the idea!

I'd also like to allow anyone to edit without having to create any kind of account or enter any email address. My audience isn't 11 year olds, but they're people in the entertainment industry so it's pretty similar. Sadly I'm going to switch to a different wiki if I can't figure out how to make it totally open.

mcarter replied on March 28, 2008 23:36 to the question "2.0 beta -- can't figure out how to link to new/another page." in PBwiki:

I don't have a "create a page link" which may be part of my problem (went to help and saw the instruction, but thought maybe it was different in beta). Any ideas?
