There was an acl on the http://wiki.centos.org/de/TipsAndTricks page that specified one person, a person who no longer contributes to the CentOS Project. As far as I can see, you should now be able to edit that page. Alan.

I don't want to complain too much here, but I think that the entry barrier of a wiki should be as low as possible in order for people to participate. I understand your need to take measures against spam bots and random changes by non-technical beginners. I guess its a fair assumption that people contributing to the CentOS wiki are more technical than the general public, but nonetheless I think requesting write access via a mailing list, the necessity for a particular naming scheme and maintaining a whole bunch of ACLs on your end is massive overkill. Were there any (bad) issues in the past, which made all of this necessary? Otherwise I would strongly argue for loosening all of this up, just to give more people the possibility to participate. Please don't get me wrong: I'm not trolling, this is just a suggestion. I'm perfectly fine with the status quo, I'm just not sure what you want to achieve and you might be overreaching. Anyway, you are doing a superb job. The turn-around time for my requests was really good. But by loosening up this process, you would relieve yourself from this "trivial" tasks.

Hi. Sorry. Me again. May I get access to the english/original pages? It will be way easier for me to copy, paste, translate submit/save new de/* pages (by?) conserving format and structure.> Am 09.12.2014 um 22:22 schrieb Alan Bartlett <ajb at elrepo.org>: > >> On 9 December 2014 at 20:50, Michael Beck <eliteknipser at gmail.com> wrote: >> Hi, thanks for the fast response. >> I know I do can edit de/Frontpage and my userpage.

You (or anyone else) can see the English page from which to copy by adding a " ?action=raw " to the URL. For example, try: http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks?action=raw Just do not try copying the #acl line. Akemi -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
