 Description   

Today, I wanted to edit the MariaDB Knowledge Base Article "Graphical and Enhanced Clients" in order to add a new IDE and help the Community: "OmniDB"
https://omnidb.org/en/

But it seems that edit privileges have been removed only to MariaDB subscriptores, and no Open Source Community. I strongly disagree with this, as in my opinion everyone shall be able to improve documentation, and help others to be better.

Thank you,
Juan

I also have an article which gives some times on using R with MariaDb, and wanted to create another one for Python, so I find the impossibility of collaboration somewhat disappointing

Editing rights were temporarily removed due to excessive spam attacks. I've restored your rights in the meantime, and hopefully editing will be re-opened to everyone soon.

I was (still) unable to create a new article at the "Graphical and Enhanced Clients" Page, and I created a new Category by confusion, as it was the only thing I was allowed to do.

¿Could this Category Creatiom, OmniDB, be rejected, and give please appropriate permissions at the "Graphical and Enhanced Clients" Category, for being able to create new articles.

Thank you.
Juan

bryan please give this user rights to create an article, not sure why they can only create categories not articles. Juan I've converted the category into an article - can you edit it OK?

Editing rights were restored in June.
