I did it firstly as support request, but thanks for Hyperion, now I'll leave it also here. I don't really like to use forum though... not much to do here.

Okay, here we go.

I find out that not so low number of users have information page about their own knights. Mainly, they all using normal accounts and submitting information in their "User:" pages.

No, I guess it's pretty normal! They also wrote a stuff about theirselves. But problem with Steam players log in in Wiki is still not fixed, so I'm sure that some of Steam players registering and normal accounts also, giving them names of their knights, for just create their knight page.

Because of it... how about just create new pages type for information about players knights? There players can have information about type ot their knights an other stuff, like who is the owner of this knights and many another things... they can look like "Knight:Choridia" or something like that, like just different from "User:" category. At this rate, if I'll try to create "User:Choridia" page, it will be deleted, but if I'll create "Knight:Choridia" page, it will be saved!

What do you think about it? I guess it must be pretty good idea, almost for Steam players. But there's still a question, because someone must create all this pages...

And also, with this lot of users can create pages directly for their knights without using "User:" pages.

Sorry, we don't have a

Sorry, we don't have a namespace called Knight. You'll just need to stick with crating an alternate wiki editing account and using a User: page. If you feel the need to have the account tie in with your knight name, you can always just create the account as "Choridia-Wiki" or something like that.

I actually already got that there's no that namespace... but why you can't just create one? Creating another accout is the only way to create your own page, even if you have only 1 knight?

We're not adding a knight

We're not adding a knight namespace. For Steam users, currently the only way to edit the wiki is to create a web SK account.

"For Steam users, currently the only way to edit the wiki is to create a web SK account."

Please add this information to the Official Account FAQ or Steam FAQ on the Wiki.

I am perfectly happy to make a web account as a workaround (and already have), but it is currently unnecessarily difficult for Steam account users like myself to even find out that this is a solution. There is no error message when trying to log in as Steam user, as far as I saw; there's just a page reload. There is nothing about this issue in the FAQs, nothing in any stickied Technical Issues forum thread, nothing in any thread on the Steam forum. It's mentioned partway through the "Won't you please, please help me?" thread in this forum but I missed that because of the informal nature of the title, instead checking the "Current Wiki Issues" thread--which also has nothing about the Steam accounts issue. I almost missed this thread because the title doesn't mention login issues.

Just one line in the FAQs would do a lot to prevent future frustration for other people.

Done.

Done. :)

It would be nice to get a little notice on the wiki login page, or even the front page, but normal users are not permitted to edit those pages. Perhaps the section on the FAQ will suffice for most.
