Asking for permission to edit the OSDev Wiki just means going to the Usergroups header at the top of the page and joining the wiki group. The MediaWiki has a plugin that will use the foum usernames and passwords. It's just a little bit picker about special characters in usernames than the forums.

As for the OSFAQ wiki, I was planning to start converting it into the OSDev mediawiki some time next week(atleast starting). The documentation, features, and easy of administration of mediawiki are just so much better than phpwiki. The OSFAQ wiki had already had a page deleted that I think shouldn't have since moving it over here because of the WikiWord username sign in thing. The WikiWord signin seemed to confuse people anyway. So I locked it just to prevent it from being spammed.
