Why 2 Users?

Post by TheScribe »

Why doesn't a forum user work on the Wiki? I have two users now, one for each. Would it be possible to make it so that the forum user works for the Wiki, and vice versa?
Sorta on a break from the forums ATM, have been for a while. If I was doing something for/with you and I haven't recently, that's why, I will be back soon hopefully.

Because they are different software, and use different databases.

Yes and no.

I have read about solutions that implement exactly that but require patching on a new wiki installation, and we don’t have a dedicated wiki administrator at the moment with the required skills (MediaWiki, SQL, patience, PHP, the ability to deal with other admins, and patience).
