| Mark__ | hi everyone | 19:12 |
|---|---|---|
| Mark__ | is there anybody there that can help me with access rights issues I have on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ ? | 19:13 |
| pleia2 | Mark__: have you applied to the wiki team? | 19:15 |
| Mark__ | not yet. | 19:15 |
| Mark__ | but.... for the past few years, I have been updating the following pages: | 19:16 |
| Mark__ | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ExternalGuides https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure?action=info https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WirelessTroubleshootingProcedure?action=info https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PackageManagerTroubleshootingProcedure?action=info https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GraphicsTroubleshootingProcedure?action=info | 19:16 |
| Mark__ | but since 2016, those pages have been set as "immutable pages" | 19:17 |
| Mark__ | so I am not allowed to edit/improve those pages anymore...... | 19:17 |
| Mark__ | which is strange, because I created most of the content on those pages | 19:17 |
| Mark__ | my real name is Mark Rijckenberg | 19:19 |
| Mark__ | my profile: https://launchpad.net/~markrijckenberg | 19:19 |
| Mark__ | are these pages immutable for you as well? | 19:21 |
| Mark__ | Princess Leia: are you still there? :-) | 19:26 |
| pleia2 | Mark__: you need to join the wiki team, instructions for applying are linked in the footer of every page | 19:26 |
| pleia2 | once someone looks at your profile, they'll approve you :) | 19:27 |
| Mark__ | ok, it's just strange that I could update for years and years and then lost access rights without any warning.... oh well | 19:27 |
| Mark__ | I look at it from a customer service point of view. Better to inform the impacted people before doing such a drastic change.... | 19:28 |
| pleia2 | you didn't lose rights, everyone did | 19:28 |
| Mark__ | ok | 19:28 |
| Mark__ | :-) | 19:28 |
| pleia2 | the new process is having people join the launchpad team to keep out the thousands of spammers | 19:28 |
| pleia2 | they were making edits every few seconds, deleting pages, massive mess | 19:28 |
| Mark__ | OK, I understand. THe spammers are still busy spamming https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu Any solution for that one? | 19:29 |
| pleia2 | unfortunately not, you'd have to talk to the #launchpad folks about that | 19:30 |
