Bug Description

It's not clear where exactly one should create an account for staging, or how account information is synced between lpnet and staging. https://login.staging.launchpad.net/+new_account exists, but isn't referenced, and it's not clear when and if it should be used

The file in question is, as identified by Rob Collins,
/lib/lp/registry/help/home-page-staging-help.html

User should not create accounts. Launchpad does not support registration, login, or passwords. Users use SSO which does that. login.launchpad,net né login.ubuntu.com provides that. login.staging.launchpad.net is ISD's staging server for SSO. Its data is stale. New Lp users will have a separate identity on staging until the production SSO data is synced, which happens every few weeks.

Marking Invalid because I agree with Curtis. (To make a new account, click Log In/Register, as normal. You'll need an email address previously unknown to Launchpad for the purpose.)

Gary, I agree that users shouldn't create accounts, but we have incorrect help already; surely we need to fix that?
