Comment (by egypcio):

 ggus is that page's author and he allowed me to edit the contents of that
 page (the same is also applied to the /FreeBSD page; core people allowed
 me to do the same there and for all the *BSD pages I asked to work with
 and dedicate my time to).

 you took over /FreeBSD, /BSDUpdates, and /OpenBSD and enabled the 'read-
 only' mode all by yourself without even consulting the original author or
 anyone else - when I merged contents to the /FreeBSD's, I did not locked
 people out. I also did not enable read-only mode for the rest of the pages
 people trusted me to update.

 AFAIK, the whole idea of having a collaborative wiki/project is that
 people can help each other and bring our best to the community, discussing
 and elaborating good and easy to read/implement steps (plus consistency
 and standards to work out of the box).

 the info regarding `User` and `RunAsDamon` were restored sounds strange,
 because these options never appeared at the wiki page. optional updates?
 where? from version 7 to version 10 it was written there about two
 alternatives to bring an updated version of Tor to OpenBSD, not that
 people could just ignore it.

 is there any particular reason why you enabled the read-only mode on
 /FreeBSD, /BSDUpdates, and /OpenBSD? I think this a pretty odd behavior.
 I'm sorry. if you do want to own all these pages (and many other more),
 please tell us. should we always open tickets with suggestions? - sadly it
 also sounds extra odd, because when I did open tickets (#27006 and
 #27007), a few minutes later you changed contents all by yourself and
 after changing the page you opened two tickets (#27025 and #27027, those
 were gently worked/answered and considered as enhancements, with benefits
 for the readers and the network).

 so, if you need any kind of help or assistance just ping me 'OTR' (or
 create tickets if you prefer to) and I will be happy to give attention and
 time to all these pages/topics we need here. thank you for all your
 concern and dedication behind this work. very appreciated! wish you (all)
 a nice weekend.
