Description

If I tell someone to go make a Labs account and give them the address http://labs.wikimedia.org, figuring out how to get a Labs account seems pretty difficult. The most prominent links seem to direct me to https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Terminology, which isn't very helpful.

Possible suggestions for improvement:

add big "create account" button and related text to page content of https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

re-add "create account" link to top-right corner of https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/

This looks to have been fixed. There's now a "Create account" link at https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page.
