Getting permission to update wikis

[Clopper Almon]

The wiki at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation is good for installing Ubuntu alongside Windows 8 but needs some modification for installing Ubuntu alongside Windows 10. The page, however, is "immutable". One must be a member of a certain team to edit it. I wrote much of the present page and applied several weeks ago to be allowed to bring it up to date. The website states that such applications are acted on within 7 days. That is not happening. Do any of the regulars with this forum have any way to joggle the elbow of those who control editing of that wiki so that I can help someone trying to install Ubuntu 16.04 alongside Windows 10?

Thanks.

Thread moved to Documentation and Community Wiki Discussions, a more appropriate forum.

I believe I can ping someone in chat and find out, first please include the links to your launchpad account.

Thanks

Also there was a requirement put in place that to edit wiki's a person has to be an Ubuntu Member, I am not sure if that is still the case, I am trying to find out, the reason it was put in place is because the wiki pages have been hit very hard by spam on more then one occasion.

I have talked with a Community Counsel member and to the admin of the ubuntu-wiki-editors team that can approve you he is busy at the moment but is going to look at your pending approval in a little while.

You no longer have to be an Ubuntu Member to edit a wiki page just a member of the ubuntu-wiki-editors team, however not sure if it is still the case at one time there were two teams one for help.ubuntu.com wiki's and the CommunityHelpWiki.

I will post back as soon as I have an update.

You have been added to the ubuntu-wiki-editors team, let us know that you can now edit that page please.

Thanks

Thanks so much for your quick attention to my request. I see that I am now a member of the wiki-editors team. Great!
However, when I go to the page that I want to edit, it still says "Immutable page" and I am unable to find any way to edit it. Probably there is something more I need to know.
I am really impressed and grateful for how quickly you got this done.

Sometimes it can be contrary. What I do is open two instances, then I login, then I go to the other page and refresh it and it usually always shows I can edit it. If that does not work we will have to get more input from other users, but I will be out of town tomorrow all day so I have to go to bed soon but I am sure someone else will post here if needed.

Thanks so much. I came back to say that I have just succeeded in logging in to edit. As often happens, I am not quite sure how I did it. It involved logging out and logging back in. I will try to do it again and write down the steps. Get a good night's sleep and have a good trip. I'll be in touch.

I spent much of yesterday working on help.ubuntu.com/community/installation and am now reasonably satisfied with it. Please have a look. If you have suggestions for changes, please either just make them or write to me at. I will now mark this thread as solved.
