    How to edit the Ubuntu wiki?

    First of all, apologies if this is the wrong place to ask, but I can't easily find a sensible place where to ask (on IRC, nobody replied).

    I'm trying to edit an Ubuntu page which contains outdated information (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UEFI/OVMF - it has wrong links); I'm logged in, but the page displays "Immutable page" in the tabs.

    How can I edit it? Should I get permissions from somebody? Who? Or should I send a request? Is there a bug tracker?

    Thanks.

    Due to several prolonged and severe spam attacks on the wiki editing of wiki pages has been restricted in the main to members of the Ubuntu Wiki Editors Launchpad group. By all means apply for membership but if you have no history on Launchpad or no-one can vouch for you then you might find that your membership is refused.

    By the way, Ubuntu Members and Canonical employees also have edit access.

    If you are not granted membership then you could send an email to the ubuntu-doc mailing list to request the change that you wish to make. There's no point creating a bug report for a wiki page as it's not official Ubuntu documentation.
