Now I'm really confused. ;)

First you mentioned wiki.ubuntu.com, and then the guide at
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WikiGuide

I assume that you are actually talking about the community help wiki at
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommunityHelpWiki, and not about
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ .

Second: Given what you asked about in your first message ("an option to
track changes of wiki articles one has edited/contributed to
automatically"), I'd like to mention that you can subscribe to
individual pages or sets of pages, so that you get notified about any
changes made by others. The revision history, as Peter mentioned, is
available whether you are subscribed to a page or not.

To me, an issue tracker (or bug tracker) is something else. That would
be a place where you can report issues about a page, and expect somebody
else to consider and fix it rather than doing it yourself. Is there such
a tracker in place for the community help wiki? I'd say: No, there is
not. There is simply no team in the Ubuntu community who is ready and/or
knowledgeable enough to assume such a commitment.

I noticed your edit at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WikiGuide,
where you wrote that "the Ubuntu wiki is maintained by the Ubuntu
documentation team". Personally I disagree on that statement. I'd rather
say that the docs team *monitors* the community help wiki to some
extent, while the actual *maintenance* is carried out by all the
individual contributors.
