[02:29] hi all [02:29] is there a moderator for this channel? [02:31] Junowat, what you need to talk to mdke [02:31] is something wrong? [02:31] well I had a question [02:32] I had a problem with one of the ubuntu wiki pages (something was unclear) [02:32] which page? [02:32] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PbuilderHowto [02:33] so I went to the page to create a new revision [02:33] ok, wiki.ubuntu.com isn't really our domain but we can help you with editing [02:33] (we primary do official docs and community docs on help.ubuntu.com) [02:34] so you went to edit, then what? [02:34] well do you know who that domain belongs to? [02:34] yes so I edited the page the way I liked [02:34] then I hit preview to see what my edits looked like [02:34] then I hit submit/change (I forget the name of the button) [02:35] but instead of going through some approval process, the page changed automatically [02:35] which surprised me because I didn't know I had full access to do that. [02:35] I just want to make sure I didn't do anything wrong [02:35] in the worst case scenario, the admin can simply revert the page to the previous version [02:36] when you Preview it doesnt update the page yet, but after you click submit it does [02:36] there is no approval process [02:36] oh I see. [02:36] if somebody were to royally mess up a page, it can be rolled back to an older revision [02:36] oh okay [02:36] so then "anyone" can edit the wiki.ubuntu.com pages? [02:36] I was looking to join that particular team. [02:36] the same is true on the (more official) community docs at help.ubuntu.com/community/ [02:37] speaking of which, how do I join the docs team? [02:37] I do a lot of documentation in my career [02:37] the actual official system docs are at help.ubuntu.com , and to edit those you need to commit changes to the ubuntu-docs bzr branch. for that you need training and to have permissions [02:37] oh I see [02:37] okay [02:37] fair enough [02:38] well then I have no problems [02:38] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/WikiTeam [02:38] that is the team for working on the community docs, you dont have to be on it, but if you do like to contribute, its nice to be there. [02:39] https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wiki [02:39] its a subteam of ubuntu-doc [02:39] if you want to be on the doc-team, then you apply for https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-doc-students [02:39] I see that now. [02:40] well that's great [02:41] is there any rule of thumb for what I need to do to join this team? [02:41] you should have a smal portfolio of pages that youve worked on that you can show the team admins [02:41] there is a section on the WikiTeam wiki page [02:42] Applying to the WikiTeam [02:42] you should also get on the mailing list [02:42] there is a pretty in depth set of pages on the team wiki for the doc-team and its subteams - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam [02:43] I got it all now [02:44] thanks for your help [02:44] there is so much info there [02:44] It is sometimes hard to find it all [02:44] [02:44] no problem, i understand [02:44] thanks a bunch Rocket2DMn [02:45] Is that a "honeymooners" reference? [02:45] no [02:46] its not a reference to anything, its just an old name that stuck [02:46] ha okay (gave it a shot) [02:46] thanks again [02:46] no problem man === Gwaihir_ is now known as Gwaihir [21:21] hi all [21:21] I tried to add some tags to the wiki, but they won't load when I refresh the wiki page [21:21] have they been disabled or something?
