Hi Matt,
Our contributor docs aren't really up to date at all. We're aware of the
mess, it should hopefully change in the near future, but right now it's
really bad as you found out.
I added the missing link to the common bugs page, thanks for reporting it.
Regarding wiki edit rights for any future contributions you might want
to make: the requirement for a non-CLA group membership is unfortunate
but it's here to stay, and yes, the docs group (and this list) seems
like a good place to ask questions. The problem is, we just cleaned up
the group maybe a month ago and removed something like 80% of all
members because they were no longer active at all, and going forward
we'd like to be able to rely on the people in that group being somewhat
active, so I'm wary of adding people who state upfront they don't want
to do that, although I do understand your situation.
Anyway: there is a group called "wikiedit", a membership in that will
give you wiki edit rights without any expectation of active
participation, as far as I'm aware. Open an issue against the
fedora-infrastructure repo on Pagure to gain access. Here's an example
of such a ticket: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/issue/6841
Hope that helps; let me know if I can do anything else for you.

Dear docs team,
I found a mistake on the wiki (Fedora 28 needs to be added to
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_bugs) and wanted to report or fix
it, but it looks like to fix it, I now need one non-CLA group. The
Docs group looked the most likely for this scenario, but based on
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join_the_Docs_Project , it looks like
you expect an introduction and ongoing involvement, which I'm not
willing to commit to.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Reporting_problems_with_Docs#I_found_a_problem_on_the_wiki
didn't give me any help either.
Is there a process for people who just want to report or fix one
mistake on the wiki? Have I missed a previous discussion of this? Or
should I pose the question elsewhere? I didn't find anything useful
here:

If you are willing to count this as my introduction and grant me access
(FAS mattmccutchen) without an expectation of ongoing involvement, I
will be happy to update the relevant places on the wiki. I've been
using Fedora for 13 years and have a modest history of useful wiki
contributions from before the restriction was introduced, though I've
never been involved deeply enough with anything to join a non-CLA
group:
https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AContributions&contribs=user&target=Mattmccutchen&namespace=&tagfilter=&year=2018&month=-1
However, my question stands what new users should do.
Thanks for your attention!
Matt
