    [SOLVED] Has the community wiki changed? (editing)

    It used to be that if you had a launchpad account, you could sign in on any of the community wiki pages and edit the page.

    I'm talking about https://help.ubuntu.com/community/

    Looks like every page I go to says "Immutable page" and there is no edit button for me like there was before.

    I always thought that practice was a bit too trusting.
    It is a machine. It is more stupid than we are. It will not stop us from doing stupid things.

    All Ubuntu members automagically get put into the etherpad group, so we have access without having to apply for membership in the group.

    So umm...what's weird is I tried logging in to edit a wiki page today and in the personal data request screen it did not show "etherpad" like it did that last time, but if I check on my launchpad account I'm still an etherpad member?? :/

    I believe that just a few days ago they locked it all down again due to spamming. I believe only Ubuntu Members could edit at that time.

    Are you able to get in to edit?

    I can edit community wikis, so it may be down to just Ubuntu members again for right now.
