Trouble editing wiki - not authorized to

[TomasForsman]

Hello.

Tried to edit https://wiki.videolan.org/Adjust_Subtitle_Delay/ to correct that "Advance Synchronization" works both when subtitles are before audio and the other way, but I'm not allowed to.

I registered, authenticated the email address and then.. nothing yet. It's been a week now, thinking there could be a "cool down" period..

I have no edit tab, and going to View source I get:
You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reason:
The action you have requested is limited to users in the group: Autoconfirmed users.

Trying to create a new page, I get:
... but you do not have permission to create this page.

How can this be remedied?

Same here, wanted to update this line

Code: Select all

*'''--volume <integer>''' sets the level of audio output (between 0 and 1024). Also only applies to local playback (like --noaudio).

Code: Select all

*'''--volume <integer>''' sets the level of audio output (between 0 and 1024). Also only applies to local playback (like --noaudio) (deprecated since 2.1.0, use '''--directx-volume <float [0.000000 .. 2.000000]>''' or '''--waveout-volume <float [0.000000 .. 2.000000]>''' instead).

Hi!
I would have liked to add my app to the "Are there apps actually deploying VLCKit on OS X and iOS?" page of the Wiki (https://wiki.videolan.org/VLCKit/#Are_t ... nd_iOS.3F ), but I also get an error that I should be part of the Autoconfirmed Users list (also a dead link: https://wiki.videolan.org/VideoLAN_Wiki ... med_users/).

I cannot signup because of a Permissions error (https://wiki.videolan.org/Special:UserLogin/signup/): "The action you have requested is limited to users in the group: Administrators.". I feel like I'm in a loop , any suggestions?

I see I'm not the first who gets the line
"The action you have requested is limited to users in the group: Administrators."

I wonder why it is stated that registering is easy, and then ...

My topic was:
Documentation:Audio/#Recording_Audio
"The recording from a shoutcast stream is stored somewhere in your files [...]. Under my german Windows XP it was stored under "Eigene Dateien/Eigene Music" so I guess ..."

I just want to add
"Under my German Linux, it was under ~/Dokumente/Musik so I guess it will be under ~/Documents/Music in an English system, but I cannot tell for true since I remember having "customized" the directory structure of my private files."
And AFAIK "german" should be "German" ...

And since the "administration" trap appears to be frequent, it would be a good idea to explain what happens and to advice someone who gets that message how to solve the problem (e.g. "please tell in the forum[link] ...", if this is the best way).

Hi,

I found a broken external link on the wiki and went to fix/edit it - as the vlc wiki invites people to edit it - but when I tried to create an account to do so, I was not able to as creating accounts requires admin status.

Is it possible to get an account to fix the link? How does one go about doing so?

Thanks, Mark.

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

Sorry, the wiki is dead.

[helmut-wk]

So, if the Wiki is dead:

1. Where do I find the current documentation? The German Videolan Webpage links to https://www.videolan.org/support/ in case someone needs "help", and the there link to "the documentation" goes to the Wiki, i.e. https://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation

2. Why does the Wiki not tell it is "dead"? Just an edit for the start page could do it.

3. If I find the documentation and see anything that could be amended (corrected, added, ...), how can I contribute?

We're working on a new system for the documentation, for the summer.
