I have no control over that. I think you can't create an account, though,
due to lots of spam going. I think someone is going to need to create one
for you? I don't know, I don't follow wikis very much.

If you're looking for directions yourself (and not just upgrading for the
sake of others), I can point you to my official spec used to build the
packages in dnf -
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/sword/blob/master/f/sword.spec. I would
also ask what's insufficient in the package that you need to build one for
yourself?
