I can't sign up for Archives?

I tried to sign up for Bulbagarden archives, but it says only admins can. Is that new? I had some pictures I wanted to upload for an article.

If you don't have a BP name, you can't have an Archives name right now. Grawp's fault.

But I do!

Actualy, its if you don't have an Archives name, you can't have an Archives name right now, even if you have a BP name associated with CentralAuth.

A nice little code snippet from CentralAuth:

function autoCreate() {
     global $wgGroupPermissions;
     // Yes unless account creation is restricted on this wiki
     return !empty( $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] );
}

Basically means that if account creation is disabled on a wiki, CentralAuth will not bypass that restriction and go ahead and create accounts just because someone already has a name in its global database.

Well, okay. If you don't have ANY name you can't have anything on BP Archives or BN currently because of Grawp. Maybe soon.
