Comment (by ihmccreery):

 That makes sense to me.  I have to admit that it's not really clear who
 should & shouldn't edit which Wiki pages.

 It seems a little odd that there would be such a strict rule for that
 section, with no rules for any other section:

     [https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki]

 > Please help us improve the information on the GHC developer's wiki. You
 can easily do this by editing the wiki directly. Just register an account,
 and then edit away. Alternatively, log in as user guest with password
 guest (but we'd prefer you to create an account, because it enables us to
 contact you if necessary). The Help/Guide link at the top of every page
 gives a good description of the markup language and how to use Trac in
 general.

 Maybe there is a better way?  Maybe just a general rule:

 > Please help us improve the information on the GHC developer's wiki. If
 you're not sure what edit to make, go ahead and submit a documentation bug
 ticket.  Otherwise, you can easily edit the wiki directly. Just register
 an account, and then edit away. Alternatively, log in as user guest with
 password guest (but we'd prefer you to create an account, because it
 enables us to contact you if necessary). The Help/Guide link at the top of
 every page gives a good description of the markup language and how to use
 Trac in general.
