Unrecognized parameters in create Account

I was pointed here from https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T188088

But I could not post my question since I am limited to two links. Sorry for this inconvenience forced upon us by Wikimedia.

Mixing POST and GET parameters is fine (there are some parameters that must be POST, like passwords, but you get a specific error message if there’s a problem with that). This sounds like a session problem - clients must be able to handle cookies the same way a browser does (accept cookies via Set-Cookie headers).

Sorry, this is just Discourse’s default behavior with new user accounts to prevent spam. Just stick around a bit and it will be solved. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Discourse/Help#Missing_a_feature_that_others_seem_to_have_(aka_user_trust_levels)

Even with the limitations you can share links like this: https://mediawiki.org

Never mind, now newcomers can post up to 5 links.
