KSP Wiki account not creating

[Singhnaut]

Hello, I recently decided to create a wiki account but after submitting the info, a 504 error screen pops up. My usernamename-to-be is Kald Kerman if that helps. I have tried this multiple times and on different computers but nothing changes. 

Could you walk me through the process please?

Thanks

Moving to Kerbal Network, since this is about the wiki rather than the game itself.

So, a 504 error generally means it's some sort of networking problem.  Some handy discussion here:

I'm afraid I don't actually have the answer to your specific problem myself (perhaps someone more knowledgeable could chime in here).  But one question I'd have would be, when you say that you've tried it "on different computers", just how "separate" were they, in network terms?

For example, if you have a router at home, and all the computers you tried it on are at home and are all going through the same router, then that could mean that this is an issue with your router, or with your internet service provider.  On the other hand, if you tried it on devices that have completely different network paths (for example: your home computer, a cell phone that's not on wifi, and a computer somewhere else like a library or a school), then that might indicate that the problem is closer to the source, e.g. with the wiki servers or the network equipment that services them.

All right, thank you.
