Anonymous users can't edit https://wiki.greasespot.net but neither can new users. If you try, you get a message like this:

The problem is, there isn't an "email address" field in the user preferences. The sign-up page doesn't ask for an email either, so I couldn't have received it. Is this a wiki bug?

Thanks

By the way, my account says I'm a member of "Autoconfirmed users." Maybe that's intended to allow me to edit without verifying my e-mail? Unfortunately, being a member of that group doesn't allow me to edit pages.

Yes.  Unfortunately spammers target the wiki more often than real users, so the settings often end up "too tight".  I've tried adjusting.  Hopefully it works now, please let me know.
