Forum:Unified login as at Wikipedia

I edit at the WeedWiki. See the main page: w:c:cannabis:Main Page. I think more people would edit that wiki and others if there were unified login here at Wikia. As at Wikipedia/Wikimedia. See:
 * http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Unified_login

There are currently around 500 cities linked from the Global Marijuana March page. There are people from many of those cities already editing on various Wikia wikis. They might help if they could jump right in to editing other wikis, and get credited via their current user name. --Timeshifter 05:59, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * they can, all (well except a few) Wikia wikis are tied together via a common User database, just the same way you posted here. --Uberfuzzy 06:01, 15 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I already had an account set up long ago at this central Wikia, and did not know that unified login had been implemented. This is great news, but I bet many people don't know about it. Maybe everybody could be notified and reminded of this somehow? I suggest a sentence on every watchlist page. A watchlist page is looked at by most registered users.


 * Better yet, something as important as this might merit a sentence in the sidebar so that both registered and unregistered users have another incentive to participate more. Unregistered users may not have signed up previously because the thought of signing up for all their wikis of interest was too much of a pain. So they edit anonymously. This might encourage people to participate in multiple wikis now that it is so easy. --Timeshifter 06:38, 15 July 2008 (UTC)


 * On Wikimedia they have this currently on the top of all pages on the Commons:
 * "Unified login is publicly available now. Go and merge your accounts."
 * There are links in it, too. Something similar might be used here. Such as "All users are now registered on nearly all wikis at Wikia. Users may edit any of those wikis." --Timeshifter 13:20, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
