Who can have accounts on the wiki, and how do we go about obtaining one?

http://wiki.linux.org.au/Special:UserLogin/signup

says only admins can create an account.  Should we email one of these sysops?

http://wiki.linux.org.au/Special:ListUsers/sysop

If that is the desired approach, could it be documented on the login page.

I recommend the mediawiki extension ConfirmAccount, as it hooks into
the normal login forms

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ConfirmAccount

see e.g.
