Thank you, I already was aware of

  "Anyone can edit the Community Help Wiki. You just need a Launchpad
  account (see /Registration) and be a member of the ubuntu-wiki-editors
  Launchpad team." - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WikiGuide

which leads to

  "Join Ubuntu Wiki Editors

  Are you sure you want to join this team?

  Since this is a moderated team, one of its administrators will have to
  approve your membership before you actually become a member." -
  https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wiki-editors/+join

but this unfortunately doesn't fit to my understanding of an open
community friendly Wiki at the moment.

Most likely Ubuntu has a huger user base, than Arch Linux has got. I
suspect the problem is, that accessing the Wiki already was too
complicated, when just the Ubuntu One account was required, due to
issues that required to repeatedly log in and because it often
already took minutes to just log in one time.

Anyway, I only wanted to verify if there's still a way to contribute to
the Ubuntu Wikis in a more or less unproblematic way or not, so it
doesn't require a discussion. It's simply not my understanding of Wikis
maintained by a community.
