Yes, I'm waiting for the developers to finish setting up the wiki - it should be fixed when you see the Wikimania logo. The Helpful One 18:55, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

Student pricing and Volunteering recruitment

Hi all,

• Will there be discount on the registration fee for students?
• When will volunteer recruitment begin? The Volunteers page says it hasn't yet opened.

Thanks, Brillig (talk) 18:21, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

There's no discount for student. -Simon Shek/石 (talk) 05:22, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

Registration for Youth Wikimedians

As a Wikimedian who is under 18 at the moment (before November this year, when the Wikimania is ended), I am not eligible to create an Paypal account. That means I cannot register through the Online Registration System, which applies Paypal as the only payment option. However, I am eager to the event, and I want to have a "Early Registration" pricing. Is it possible to pay the fee by transfer the money directly from the bank account to a designate account/organisation? Or I can only register on site? Or I am not eligible to participate in the Wikimania?--Spring Roll Conan ( Teahouse · Contributions ) 09:41, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

Unable to use PayPal in Macau

I'm from Macau but PayPal does not support Macau. It would make me impossible to make the payment for the registration. Is there any other method for Macau people to register earlier rather than on-site registration? --Cdip150 (talk) 16:25, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

You can try this. rz (talk) 14:58, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
