contributing faq
- Q: Why can't I edit the Main_Page?
- A: The Main_Page is only editable by a subset of users. Tantek doesn't have permission to edit it!
- Q: My User page says: "There is currently no text in this page. You can search for this page title in other pages, search the related logs." - How do I create/edit it?
- A: First make sure you have confirmed your email address. Check your email for a confirmation message from MozillaWiki and then click the link in it. You should see a message like "your email address is now confirmed."
- A2: Or you can't because you're a new user (this is to reduce the creation of spam pages). Get someone you know at Mozilla to create your page for you as a stub, e.g. with {{stub}}.
- A3: Or the MozillaWiki has cached your User page (perhaps from before you confirmed you email). Try loading your user page with a "?" after the URL and see if you get an "Edit" link in the header.
