I found an error in a ROS Wiki I was reading, can I change the source code and submit a PR? Where can I find the source code? The wiki page is related to ros_comm, I checked the source code but couldn't find the documentation in there. https://github.com/ros/ros_comm/
On the bottom of the page I see (last edited 2019-06-26 19:17:45 by DavidLu)
Do I need to contact DavidLu?
See this page, under "How to Edit a ROS Wiki Page" http://wiki.ros.org/EditingTheWiki#Ho...
In short, you have to create an account on wiki.ros.org, then request to be added to the ROS wiki whitelist by commenting on a specific issue (mention your username and why you want to edit the wiki/what page you want to edit). Once this is done, go back to the wiki page you want to modify, and click "Edit" on the right.
Adding to this: if the source code @csg mentions is embedded on the page (using the macro which takes source from a Git repository and displays it inline, with line nrs), instead of copy-pasted into the page, you cannot change it by editing the wiki page itself.
You'd have to submit a PR to fix the code in the Git repository.
you're right, that might be it. The question was a bit ambiguous!

@csg: could you please update your post with a link to the page you are referring to?
Most wiki pages which refer to source code use embedding through a macro, which would mean the code in the
ros_commrepository would need fixing.It could well be that there is something incorrect, but the packages in
ros_commare pretty old and well used, so perhaps something else is going on.
