Hello,

The wiki had been "under attack" (read: unnaturally heavy scraping
traffic) for a few days and had consequently started spewing errors of
various kinds.  To defend against this, some URLs had to be blocked,
which is why you now get error 403 in various places.  You should be
able to log in to the wiki from its main page, and then all restrictions
are lifted.

It's not clear to me exactly why does the login link work on the main
page and not on other pages.  We may be able to lift this at some point.
But for now, there's at least a workaround.


Thanks,
