Who has global admin on the WIKI page? I can't seem to edit the WIKI
Navigation Sidebar, it seems to be locked and I don't have Global Admin on
the WIKI. So whoever has Global Admin permissions on the wiki, could you
please contact me off-list, I just need to add 2 links to the navigation
Sidebar [ MediaWiki:sidebar ].
If someone who has "Global Admin" privileges could please just add the
following code snippet and post it under the "Using OpenSim" heading, or
please just give my WIKI user account (mark.malewski) sufficient permissions
so that I can add the following text to the Navigation sidebar [
MediaWiki:sidebar]:
Thank-you,
Mark
