Attention

You will not be able to join your assigned wiki repository when wiki-freeze commences.

Error due to double connections

You cannot connect the same GitHub account more than once to the iDEC Team Portal. If you run into a "Social Login" failure page, it could be due to your attempt to connect your GitHub account again. A potential fix for this issue, is to login to your GitHub account and visit the settings, applications configuration. Under Authorized OAuth Apps, choose iDEC Team Portal, and then Revoke access. This will disconnect your GitHub account with the Team Portal and you can try to reconnect again.
