Asking for wiki edit permission

[jmaustpc]

Hello Ian,

I did try to PM first, but the forum seems to be configured so that PMs aren't allowed until a new user has made some posts on the forums.

I wasn't aware of that. I'll see what can be done about this.

I've answered your PM.

There are times when this would not be convenient, but in general it sounds like a good anti-spam measure to me. Imagine if these spammers, that we don't approve, could send us all PMs as well....

I thought about it too, but what would be the use for a spammer to write PMs to other users? Might it not be too much for spambots?

Hi Norm
I am possibly worrying about it too much, ....

Its probably a default setting somewhere.

I didn't find it too onerous to post a message on the forum, personally. Of course, minimising barriers to wiki editing for legitimate users is a good thing.

Another option might be to install http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ConfirmAccount , to remove the PM requirement for new wiki accounts? -Ian-

Hi,

I regularly see mistakes in the French documentation that I would like to correct on the fly. Please, give me the permissions to edit the wiki.

Kind regards,

Hi Maxagaz,

You now have a wiki account, you should have received an automated email.

Found a small mistake on https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/Draft_Text

The command for makeText, uses the keyword screenmode, however in the current version ( 0.18 ) the keyword is screen

I will change if given wiki permissions.

I will change if given wiki permissions.

I just created your wiki account. You should have already received a notification to the email address you registered for the forum.

Bonjour,
Je souhaiterais pouvoir éditer le wiki dans sa partie française, pour pouvoir effectuer quelques corrections ou précision lors de ma découverte des divers tutos Freecad.
Mon pseudo serait le même que celui du forum : gnrc

Cordialement

Hello,
I wish I could edit the wiki in its French part, to be able to make some corrections or precision during my discovery of the various Freecad tutorials.
