How do I fix a broken link in wxWiki?

[David Costanzo]

When trying to write a pull request, I realized that I needed to update a Makefile.in, which said to use bakefile.  I searched the Web and found this:

  https://wiki.wxwidgets.org/Bakefile

This page has a broken link on the page to the quickstart guide.  It leads to a 404 (old subversion repo).  I think this should be lead to:

https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/blob/master/build/bakefiles/wxpresets/bakefile_quickstart.txt

I tried to change it myself, but I could not find an option to create an account wxWiki or instructions on how to do it.  Should I report this on wxTrac as a documentation error?  Is there another channel for reporting wxWiki for this?

FWIW all this stuff is pretty obsolete anyhow.

But this is weird, registering on the wiki is supposed to work and it did
work, but I've just confirmed that there doesn't seem to be any way to do
it any longer.

Bryan, if you're reading this, do you have any idea about why is this not
allowed any longer and did you do this intentionally or not?

Thanks,
