Anyone know how to get write acess on the wiki? I'd like to fill out this page (http://xbmc.org/wiki/?title=The_XBMC_Database) with column descriptions (i.e. episode.c08 is the IsWatched column, etc). I've been asking in #xbmc on freenode since yesterday, and can't get a response there...

(I started poking around the tables trying to fix the problem from this thread: http://xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?t=43407)

Register an account on the wiki then ask for ninja status for that account :;):

http://xbmc.org/wiki/?title=XBMC_Online_ManualAll users who wish to continue providing a valid contribution to the XBMC Online Manual, please contact a member of Team-XBMC and ask for "Ninja" status on the wiki to get full write access, (the easiest way to get in touch is via #XBMC on freenode IRC network), thank you for understanding. Those of you who help us by contributing to this wiki might want to keep an eye on the Recent Changes and Newest Pages articles.

I got that far. I already registered an account (nmrs). Question is, how or where or to whom does one "ask for ninja status"?

I've been asking since yesterday in #xbmc on freenode and no one responds to me.

You now have ninja rights to the wiki for that account :grin:

Thanks. I edited this page:
http://xbmc.org/wiki/?title=The_XBMC_Database

It's not complete, but captures as far as I got. I'll try and finish it up, but have a meeting now. Also, is there a style guide or anything? The style I chose, "wikitable sortable", which I found here (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Table) doesn't seem to be recognized)

See http://xbmc.org/wiki/?title=Help:Contents

FYI; XBMC's wiki is powered by MediaWiki (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki) :;):

I'd go a little easy on the headers, each table does not need to be a heading (makes for an enormous TOC).
