New page

The official documentation of the [[Guild Wars 2]] game [[API]] is within the [[API:Main|API namespace]] of this wiki. Because of the high relevance of the correctness of this information for third-party application developers, the namespace is locked by default. '''API editors''' are users that are granted access to edit articles within the API namespace. This page is to request editing access to the namespace for yourself.

To request editing access, make sure you have registered an account on this wiki and are logged in. Then add the following to the '''top of the list''' below, replacing the indicated parts:
<pre>
; {{user|<username>}}
: <Reason you are requesting access> ~~~~
</pre>

As the namespace is meant for documentation, you should '''not''' apply when you are only interested in promoting particular applications (e.g. your own). You can promote your app [[API talk:List of applications|here]] and your wrapper [[API talk:List of wrappers|here]]. Furthermore it is more likely to get access if you have previously shown your editing capabilities by contributing to other parts of the wiki.
