The usability wiki located at http://usability.wikimedia.org was used as the main platform for the Wikipedia Usability Initiative and the Multimedia Usability Project. Both this grand-funded projects are now over. In retrospect, opening a brand new wiki may not have been the best solution, and the WMF engineering teams are now using mediawiki.org as their main collaboration platform, in order to be closer to the community of volunteer developers. Little content hosted on the usability wiki is still relevant to current projects, and it can be imported to mediawiki.org on a per-page basis (see comment below). As a consequence, the Usability wiki should be closed to editing, and only kept as an archive. Thanks!

Fixed by removing existing user rights. We now apply the default user rights for 'closed' wikis'.
