Why can't i edit the wiki too
I thought wiki's were opensource for anyone to contribute but noooooo. I got a permission error and i don't think that follows the wiki's quote 'made by scratchers'. So why not let other people contribute?

The one important aspect about the wiki though, is anonymous editing. As you know, on Wikipedia there are tens of thousands of active contributors. A small fraction of those people however, are people who vandalize by erase content, putting ridiculous facts, and doing many other things - which results in bans. Thus, many people have to get out their ban hammers, and revert the edits, and do what they do. However, we didn't want the vandalizing, and we didn't want people to get banned. So we decided to not allow anonymous editing. We hope to invite many different Scratchers to help edit the wiki, and make it as good of a source as possible!
If you want to become a contributor, read this article.

I think he meant this article - there was a typo in there 
Also, I don't think this goes in Suggestions. I'm moving it to All About Scratch.
