[Assist] Wiki registration error, and out of date package names.

Hello.

I am currently migrating from Arch Linux to parabola, just to try it
out. I attempted to install the keyring and mirrorlist as documented on
this page <https://wiki.parabolagnulinux.org/Migration_From_Arch>. The
first package listed on that page is a 404, so I followed the advice on
given on the page: "Note: This address can change if we update both
packages. If it does not work please look for the upgrade here and
please edit this article."

I found the correct package -- the url given as " should actually be
"http://repo.parabolagnulinux.org/pool/packages/parabola-keyring-20130529-1-any.pkg.tar.xz"
. The mirrorlist package does not need to be updated. Unfortunately,
attempting to register a wiki account (via this link
<https://wiki.parabolagnulinux.org/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin&returnto=Main+Page&type=signup>)
in order to update the package url leads to this error (screenshot
attached):

    Internal error
    [33a0c504] 2013-06-13 18:41:11: Fatal exception of type MWException

So, I figured someone could either help me get a wiki account
registered, or update the wiki, or maybe even come up with way of making
an always-up-to-date package url so that this stale link issue doesn't
happen again.

Thanks,

Allie
