It occurs to me that during the hunt it is often advisable to call outsiders
for help.  For example, I'm active in an online music community that could
be very helpful for the puzzle (that I'm sure Spelvin and/or Lunch Boy is
busily constructing right this minute) requiring initmate knowledge of indie
bands. In the past, I've directed those I've called for assistance to the
relevant hunt page, but it would be great if there were some type of guest
privileges that we could allow for the wiki. Not being a programmer, I have
no idea if this is a trivial fix to the existing wiki or would require more
effort than its worth.  But I'm sure I'm not the only one who calls for
outside help, and if it's not too onerous to add this, maybe our wikimaster
(is that Artistry?) could take a look at the issue.

May I suggest we just give the URL and password to any guests we need to?

It seems that malicious defacing of our wiki is very unlikely -- not exactly in the spirit of the hunt. Even cheating by peaking at another's password-protected wiki is unlikely, as it's likely against the pretty well-abided rules.

We have a password. We give it to those who need it. That seems adequate protection for the nature of the event.
