Probably. Maybe one of the mods could do so -- dvgrn...?
And is that also the right place to ask for edit access to the wiki? I did create
an account to see if I could fix this myself (or at least test it in userspace), but the wiki seems to be locked down so tight that I couldn't even find any place to ask for access. Maybe it would be useful to
set up one or two "unlocked" pages on the wiki (like, say, the Tiki bar) that even new users could edit.
Unfortunately, there was a massive spam attack on the wiki a while ago, and it was deemed necessary to lock it down so only manually-approved users could edit. I
think it's supposed to link to the right thread when you sign up and tell you to ask for the "trusted" flag there, but I don't know if it does. (Worth investigating, I figure.)
But yes, that thread, or
Massive spam attacks on the wiki (and forums?), are good places to ask for that flag. Any
wiki sysop can hand it out, so you really just need to make sure your request's seen by the right people.

And yes, having some place that everyone can edit would be good, but that's something I think only Nathaniel can set up.
