A user account is required in order to edit this wiki, but we've had to disable public user registrations due to spam.
To request an account, ping an autoconfirmed user on IRC (such as one of these permanent autoconfirmed members) or send an e-mail to admin@wiki.whatwg.org with your desired username and an explanation of the first edit you'd like to make. (Do not use this e-mail address for any other inquiries, as they will be ignored or politely declined.)
Note: This wiki is used to supplement, not replace, specification discussions. If you would like to request changes to existing specifications, please use IRC or a mailing list first.
WebAppsTweet
WebAppsTweet is a simple script responsible for updating @WHATWG on Twitter whenever the specification is changed. It is written on top of Twython. This page documents most of its source code, which you are free to use for any purpose.
