People who cannot read do not get wiki karma:

Ok, ignoring the rudeness...

I have an account, and I can read (pun intended), however I cannot write or create pages. I assumed it was a privilege issue. That's what I kept repeating to Pierre on twitter, to which he reply: send an email to the internals asking for a wiki account.

Any real help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Marcello

I don't know why he is asking you to send an email here. The
registration page I linked to explicitly says php-webmaster@ and the
instruction to get write karma.

Hannes, that page doesn't have any explicit reference to write karma.

Pierre, should I write to php-webmaster?

Thanks,
Marcello

That page clearly says: "Once you register with this form and receive your wiki username you still won't be able to edit the wiki until we manually authorize access. This reduces wiki vandalism. To get authorization you must send a quick introduction to the php-webmaster mailing list. Mention your wiki username and say what you're planning to do. This email lets us know you're a human (and not a robot) and what you'll be working on."

So yes, mail php-webmaster.

Done. But I am still confused by this write karma thing. Feel free to ignore my confusion. I will now sit and wait for the php-webmaster mercy.

Thanks,

What's about simply give him this damned karma instead of this pointless
arguing!

ps: never mentioned that you have an account already i would have gave you
the karma already....

I'm not 100% sure, but I think the Hindu god Ishvara is the person you're
looking for.
