Account Creation Interface Access

I have been an account creator in the past with access to the Account Creation tool. After some time off from Wikipedia due to educational obligations, I would like to return to account creation and am requesting that my account be reinstated if possible. Thanks.

@Topher385: I don't normally handle ACC admin stuff much any more, though I have poked the other tool admins to let them know. It's worth noting that you've not signed the meta:access to non-public information policy yet (or nobody's processed your signature), and until you're listed on the noticeboard you can't get access to the tool.

@Stwalkerster: I went ahead and signed the agreement. Thanks for your help. Topher385 (talk) 22:10, 27 August 2016 (UTC)
