That is an email address. 🙂

You must send a message to wikiadmin at graphisoft dot com (typed that way there and here to avoid spam)... to get a token to give you permission to create an account - which would allow for editing the Wiki contents.

Only editors and content creators need accounts.

Anybody can READ the ArchicadWiki. The purpose of authorizing accounts is so that only approved people can EDIT the wiki to maintain accuracy and quality. I assume.

If you have general questions about content on the Wiki, you can feel free to ask them here and a wiki editor can make changes to the article in question if appropriate.

Cheers,
Karl

It is possible that the article was hidden so it can be seen only by registered users.
Sometimes an article is put on ArchiCADWiki, but if it is still work in progress, it can be set to be hidden so only registered users see it.

Somehow the article turned up in a search for you, I suppose.

Actually, there's a line at the top saying, "Please log in", so I don't know what we're expected to assume??! I saw that and thought, "Great, another login hurdle before I can actually try to search for the answer to my question"
As it is, this is cascading-rabbit-trail-question number six - at the moment I've actually literally forgotten what my original problem was that I was trying to solve way back when I was actually doing productive work in Archicad and made the mistake of clicking on HELP to try to find something out, only to have a blank browser turn up.... yet again.
So in my then optimistic state I thought, "Right, I'm going to solve this browser problem once and for all"
That was two hours ago. Ha, silly me. But I'm not defeated yet. Ding! The bell goes for the next round. I'm off to ArchicadWiki again - if you see my family, tell them I said "Hi" 😕

You don't have to sign in to ArchiCADWiki to search articles and read them.
If you want to constribute to the wiki with articles then you need to register and sign in to do that.

Thanks Laz,
Yeah I got that.... Sorry I wasn't clear because I was venting

My point was that explaining it here AFTER people get confused and come looking for help seems unnecessary, when a simple change on the actual ArchicadWiki website is all that is needed:

From: "welcome: please sign in"
To: "welcome: contributors please sign in"

Cheers,
