[19:12] <Mark__> hi everyone
[19:13] <Mark__> is there anybody there that can help me with access rights issues I have on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/    ?
[19:15] <pleia2> Mark__: have you applied to the wiki team?
[19:15] <Mark__> not yet.
[19:16] <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
[19:17] <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
[19:19] <Mark__> my real name is Mark Rijckenberg
[19:19] <Mark__> my profile:  https://launchpad.net/~markrijckenberg
[19:21] <Mark__> are these pages immutable for you as well?
[19:26] <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
[19:27] <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
[19:28] <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
[19:29] <Mark__> OK, I understand. THe spammers are still busy spamming https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu     Any solution for that one?
[19:30] <pleia2> unfortunately not, you'd have to talk to the #launchpad folks about that
