I assume that the wiki account request hasn't been send.  There was a
bug, so error messages didn't show up.  It should be fixed now, so if
you still want a wiki account, try registering again.  Note, though,
that a wiki account doesn't give you voting rights.

Note, there is <http://php.net/get-involved.php> where several ways to
contribute to the PHP project are pointed out.
