Many forums, and wiki pages, allow you to tick a box to "watch" them,
even if you didn't originate them, and then you'll get a notification of
each response. I agree, though, that it's a nuisance to not have the
response itself show up in one's email, but only the notification.

To edit a wiki page or add a page to the wiki, all you need is to
register. No special permissions needed. Go to any wiki page and look in
the upper right-hand corner for Login/Register. You'll get a standard
confirmation email, which you have to respond to.
