Hi,
is there an uncomplicated way to get back write access to all Wiki and
help pages?
There are pages such as
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ubuntu%20Studio%20Upgrade%20from%20Ubuntu
that was last edited 2013-10-12 and apart from outdated information,
that already caused issues for inexperienced users, it contains
completely wrong information, that never was correct, e.g. mixing up
"rtprio" with a "nice" value.
Other pages require links against the Wiki/help pages of another
flavour, that also sometimes need improvements, so just joining one
flavour's documentation team isn't a solution.
Wikis such as the Arch Linux Wikis have to fight against Spam, too, but
they are still traditional Wikis and well maintained by the Linux
community, IOW by users like me, who just sporadically spontaneously fix
issues. The Wiki is quasi free from spam and much better than the
Ubuntu Wikis, since "documentation teams" can't do what a community as
a whole is able to do.
In the past I edited Ubuntu Wiki/help pages myself, now I sometimes ask
others to fix issues.
I don't have any plans to fix the above mentioned help or any other
Ubuntu Wiki that requires reworking, I just want to be able to
sporadically spontaneously fix issues again in the future.
A quick reply is welcome, since I want to unsubscribe from this mailing
list as soon as possible.
Regards,
Ralf
