Before you can edit, your account has to be manually approved.
Rules
First, note these rules:
- Avoid listing sites or services which make their own income (e.g. exchanges, marketplaces, hardware wallet manufacturers, etc). You can talk about the idea of certain products (e.g. hardware wallets exist and are useful in XYZ circumstances), but not list specific brands.
- If your first edits are you adding an external link or creating a page for some service, you're probably going to be banned.
- Articles here will likely be edited by other people. Try not to take it personally.
- Avoid altcoins and especially scamcoins when possible, or confine discussion of these to their own pages (e.g. comparison of altcoins). The Bitcoin Wiki is a space for Bitcoin.
- Do not engage in edit wars: use the talk page to find consensus.
Getting the attention of a Permittor
Get a Permittor to whitelist you in one of these ways:
- Post the edits you want to make on the wiki board on bitcointalk.org. Don't just ask to be whitelisted without saying what you want to do.
- Join IRC Web #bitcoin-wiki on Freenode - there is also a IRC Web #bitcoin-wiki channel on Libera if you prefer that network. Here, you will also be expected to explain what you want to do.
