Which "Crawl Wiki"? The local Wiki (https://crawl.develz.org/wiki/doku.php?id=start) is linked, which means it uses the same user database for login.

The one that concerns information needed to actually play the game, and not develop it - Currently Empty at the moment until stuff is moved over: http://crawl.chaosforge.org/index.php?title=CrawlWiki

Napkin, is there a way to link the chaosforge crawlwiki with the same database used for the mantis tracker and the forums? Kornel (the guy who hosts crawl wiki) is also looking into how to make account creation more spam proof and this might be a good solution. A unified name for all three locations would be an added benefit.

Well, the data is saved in a mysql database. I'm not sure about sharing usernames, email addresses, passwords and permission level with "the outside"..

You are right, cross-server authentication might be very hard to do safely. Maybe this is not a good idea. In the meantime, it looks like Kornel has found something that might work on its own.
