If you would like to contribute documentation to the Atlassian Documentation Wiki, Atlassian requests that you complete, sign and submit a contributor license agreement.
The purpose of the agreement is to define the terms under which intellectual property has been contributed to the Atlassian Documentation Wiki. This will allow us to defend the documentation wiki if a legal dispute arises concerning the contributed content.
At present, the Atlassian Contributor License Agreement applies to documentation only.
Please download and complete the PDF form, then send it back to us via fax or email. The addresses are on the form. We will grant you editing rights to the relevant documentation spaces once we have received your form.
Note: Please take care if you choose to send the form by fax. It's all too easy to put the paper in the wrong way round or to get the settings wrong, so that we receive a blank or illegible copy.
Affected Documentation Spaces
The Atlassian Contributor License Agreement is required only for the official documentation spaces (listed below) on the Atlassian Documentation Wiki. Some of the spaces on the same wiki are open to everyone for editing without such an agreement. Other spaces on the same wiki are editable by Atlassian staff only.

- APPLINKS — Application Links Documentation

Notes
- Archived documentation is editable on request.
For each product, there is a current documentation space plus potentially one or more archive documentation spaces holding documentation for earlier versions of the product. For example, the current Crowd documentation is in the CROWD space, and documentation for earlier versions is in CROWD015, CROWD014, etc. Editing of the archive spaces is restricted to Atlassian technical writers. To request an update to such a document, please raise an issue on our JIRA issue tracker, in the project for the relevant product. Set the issue type to 'Task' and the component to 'Documentation'. In isolated cases, we may grant someone edit-permissions for a specific update and then remove the permissions again.
- Atlassian reserves the right to update or remove all content. The Atlassian technical writers, developers and other Atlassians will monitor all content in the documentation spaces. Where necessary, we will adjust the grammar or spelling, update obsolete content and remove incorrect or undesirable content.
- Atlassian reserves the right to refuse or revoke editing rights for a particular user.
- We cannot guarantee to remove inaccurate or offensive content immediately. If someone adds inaccurate or offensive content to the documentation, there may be a time lapse before we find and remove it. We monitor the contributions to the documentation, but time pressures and work load may result in something offensive slipping through.
