From Gentoo Wiki
Gentoo wiki accounts are used to contribute to the Gentoo wiki, to flag issues‎ with articles, or to communicate with other wiki users. Wiki accounts are not required just to install or use Gentoo Linux. Please only create an account if you are planning to contribute to the Gentoo wiki in some way.
If not receiving the account creation confirmation email, check "spam" folder.
A Gentoo installation is generally required to be able to solve the "CAPTCHA" question. Anyone having difficulty with this (or even someone who has a valid reason to create an account but does not have a Gentoo installation), can ask for help by following the instructions in the note below.
Note
If encountering any issues with account creation, please get in touch in #gentoo-wiki (webchat) on IRC. Please be patient on the channel, replies can take time: stay connected waiting for a response, as people may be away from keyboard or even in different time zones. If a solution cannot be found in IRC, try sending an email to wiki@gentoo.org.
