Good questions. The logins, to the best of my understanding, were all merged a long time ago. If you log into the <a href="http://wp.org">wp.org</a>, the login takes you everywhere within the site. For spammers, especially bots, they are focusing on mediawiki logins, not WordPress.org, so this stops technical blocks them as they are bots. For the human spammers, it's another hoop they have to jump through and they might not know to jump. So we can only hope.<br>
<br>I just tested it and you're right. New registrants on WordPress.org can't get access to the Codex. It's probably a permissions level issue. I've let them know and we should have an answer shortly. Thanks for pointing it out. <br>

Yes the problem is actual. One person already couldn't log in with his <a href="http://wp.org" target="_blank">wp.org</a> username. Also, what is the point of disabling account creation if people can just go to <a href="http://wp.org" target="_blank">wp.org</a> and do the same thing?<div>

They are also<br>
looking at turning off open registration on the Codex as registration across<br>
.org is all combined.<br>

Is this the case even for people who have older .org logins? I know when I first joined I had to create a separate login for the Codex.<br>
<br>
Just slightly concerned that people currently can't get a new Codex account. (The "create account" link on Codex has gone now, I notice.)<div><div></div><div><br>
