So how do we edit a Wiki page? I'm logged into my gitlab.com account, but I don't see, for example, an "Edit" button.Same. *Maybe* this is because Gerald is the only member of the project so far? https://gitlab.com/wireshark/wireshark/-/project_members
Well, this stinks. I managed to overlook the fact that wiki editing requires Developer permissions, which means that editing the wiki requires the same rights as accepting merge requests and creating new branches: https://gitlab.com/help/user/permissions This is fine for core developers, but not so great for other people that currently have editor permissions. Other people have the same problem, but I don't see any indication that this will be fixed any time soon: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/25177 https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/27294 https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/15504 We have a few options in the mean time: * Switch back to MoinMoin / wiki.wireshark.org and let it continue to bit-rot. * Switch back to MoinMoin, find some other wiki software, and migrate to it. * Create a separate, public wiki-only gitlab.com/wireshark/wireshark-wiki project, and grant Developer permissions to anyone that wants to contribute. * Create a separate, possibly-private wiki-only gitlab.com/wireshark/wireshark-wiki-backend project, grant Developer permissions to anyone that wants to contribute, and mirror it to the main project wiki. * Some other variation of the previous two items? ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: https://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://www.wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
