Bug ID: 43575 Summary: Wiki paradigm is wrong. Product: WineHQ.org Version: unspecified Hardware: Other OS: other Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: www-unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: jokes_free4me@yahoo.com
The whole point of having a wiki is to allow users to "collaboratively modify content". Ideally, even anonymous users would be able to do that, or at least make suggestions using article talk pages... Currently, even after creating an account, i cannot even create my own user page and/or talk page!
Basically, at the very least, "Autoconfirmed users" and/or "Users" should be able to edit any and all talk pages.
Hopefully, able to edit other pages too, at least those that aren't protected.

It used to be that way; thank the human spammers who repeatedly vandalized the wiki for forcing the change.
You can request edit privileges by following the instructions on https://wiki.winehq.org/WineHQ_Wiki:General_disclaimer.
Unfortunately, while captchas can keep out bots, this has proven to be the only way to keep out human spammers. It is not going to change.
