Re: [ubuntu-studio-devel] Immutable Page

Not to barge in here, but I am subscribed to the ubuntu doc's team mailing
list and they had been getting hit hard with spam so they locked the wiki
down both community side as well as main wiki.If I am not mistaken only
particular individuals have permissions to make edits to the wiki's

Did you notice that e.g.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases was last edited 2016-02-05?

While Wikipdia about Ubuntu was edited today?

Likely people aren't aware what's going on ;), so yes, it's hard, if
you don't know what to do.

In my case, I dislike to subscribe to another instance to contribute.
There are not that many experienced Linux pro-audio users spending time
to edit help pages related to this domain. Any additional
time-consuming steps are bad. In addition I mistrust that the reason
for this approach is spam.

Thank you,

when did this change? I always could log in with my launchpad/Ubuntu one
account and edit those pages.

Indeed, it changed,
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WikiGuide#Contributing , but there's
no explanation why.

I guess I will not continue to contribute to those pages. Is there valid
a reason to make it extra hard to help?

It was put in place when the wiki was under pressure from spammers as an 
extra measure to dissuade them iirc.


Please bear in mind this was nothing to do with me - just passing on 
what I remember from the incident


Not sure that joining a LP group is really that much of a hardship tbh.

thanks

[ubuntu-studio-devel] Immutable Page

[Ralf Mardorf]

Hi,

I suspect that all Ubuntu Wiki and help pages aren't editable, due to
the issues Ubuntu pages had a few days ago. Is there already a
date, when those sites become editable again?

Ralf
