Write access to these branches is restricted because this is the documentation that is included directly with every Ubuntu system. A system of quality control and review is therefore required.

 1. '''[[https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-helpwiki-editors|Ubuntu Help Wiki Editors]]'''. Members of this team have permission to delete or rename wiki pages. This is a restricted action on the help wiki, because the renaming or deletion of wiki pages can often cause unintended problems. This is explained in the [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WikiGuide/DeletingAndRenaming|relevant section of the Wiki Guide]]. In order to join this team, we ask applicants to have:
  * signed the [[https://launchpad.net/codeofconduct/1.0.1|Ubuntu Code of Conduct]].
  * read and understood the [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WikiGuide|Wiki Guide]].
== Requirements ==

As a prerequisite for both teams, we ask applicants to have signed the [[https://launchpad.net/codeofconduct/1.0.1|Ubuntu Code of Conduct]].

We also ask that the applicant has interacted with members of the group, by posting to the mailing list fairly regularly, and/or frequenting the IRC channel.

=== Requirements for Ubuntu Documentation Committers ===

Membership of this team carries with it a right to commit material directly to the documents which are included in the Ubuntu operating system. For that reason we ask that applicants to join this team have:

  * read the [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/SystemDocumentation|System Documentation series of pages]]
  * contributed a number of patches to the system documentation which, taken as a whole, demonstrate to the reviewer that the applicant applies the [[DocumentationTeam/StyleGuide|documentation team style guide]], and is comfortable working with DocBook, Bazaar and Launchpad.
  * read the UbuntuBugControl page and all those pages linked there (this is necessary because membership of the Ubuntu Documentation Committers team carries with it membership of the Ubuntu Bug Control team).

=== Requirements for Ubuntu Community Help Wiki Editors ===

For membership of this team, we ask that applicants to join have:

  * read the [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WikiGuide|Wiki Guide]].
