Requests for Comment/Some comments on account registration and verification code


 * The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.

I meant to close this a while back, my apologies. I discussed these items with the proposer a while ago and I think I understand what he's getting at, I'll reference these points below. In general I'm closing this as a) heavily malformed, b) lacking traffic after a long time open (not even advertised on the RFC landing page) and c) lacking usable RfC material. I strongly suggest bringing ideas like these to informal community discussion (such as the Community noticeboard) or getting with someone who is familiar with RfC creation to help make something that can get attention and pass. --Raidarr (talk) 14:28, 29 June 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) Mail registration: already available. Contact cvt@undefinedmiraheze.org describing the issue and an account may be created. In discussion I heard that 'contact' was a poor word in translation. Perhaps we can amend proxy blocks/general wording to say 'message' instead.
 * 2) WeChat: Same issues as last time; no volunteers and interest. An unofficial one can be made, but anything more will require serious work from the proposer to get traffic.
 * 3) "please register by email" line: Maybe SRE can consider a review of how recaptcha errors are handled? Otherwise not much we can do here, aside from this discussion.
 * 4) Mirror of Wikimedia Upload: I'd suggest looking more closely into Miraheze Commons since that is our Miraheze equivalent. Mirroring Wikimedia itself is not going to be feasible. If you mean something different, feel free to elaborate in a section here with more detail.

Chinese Wikipedia has adopted this method to enable users who cannot register because of the IP address ban to register accounts. I suggest that the registration regulations should be in English, and the volunteers should be registered by the users themselves, so that there will be no shortage of volunteers.--城市酸儒文人挖坑 (talk) 08:39, 12 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Advantages: it is the largest instant messaging software in China, with payment function (only the official website version) and its own translation function
 * Disadvantages: poor optimization, large storage space (Google play version is OK), and it is disabled in the United States. VPN is required in the United States, and the power consumption is not small.--城市酸儒文人挖坑 (talk) 08:39, 12 June 2022 (UTC)

At present, Chinese Mainland has blocked Wikimedia upload. Looking at this situation, Russia and Iran may do it soon. This leads to a large number of files to be re uploaded to miraheze, which is a time-consuming, laborious and expensive project.--城市酸儒文人挖坑 (talk) 08:44, 12 June 2022 (UTC)

General comments

 * It seems strange to have to have an RfC for allowing verification via email/form, as that is already done right now if the Captcha fails. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 12:23, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I don’t think I understand what you are proposing and the aim of this RfC. Can you clarify a bit? Cheers, Matttest (talk | contribs) 13:46, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I formatted it wrong and put the content of the proposal into the comments.--城市酸儒文人挖坑 (talk) 00:55, 29 June 2022 (UTC)
