Okay, I'll let you know if anything changes tomorrow.
Be sure to reply back. If it doesn't work tomorrow (after 96 hours have passed mind you, not just the data switched). I hope it does work though.
Checked in today and I am now in the Autoconfirmed users group and can create pages. Haven't tried uploading anything yet but doubt that will be a problem.
Thanks for all the help and hope I can contribute more going forward.

As for the image names I thought that was maybe the case and was going to change the template but then I checked the other classes. Both Barbarian and Wizard don't use the Icon addition. So if you change the template they will need to be updated.
Up to 12 edits, mostly all minor ones, and still cannot create content. I'm providing this mostly as feedback as it looks like someone is rapidly taking care of the things I originally wanted to add.
I'm assuming it would be at the bottom of the page and look similar to the edit box I've been using to edit pages? I don't see anything similar to that. It looks just like the screen shot I posted for Diablo 8 except it says Tyrannosaurus.
Also, not to derail this thread but can you change the name of a file without having to delete and re-upload it? The necromancer skill image files all have Icon attached to the end of them and this doesn't jive with what the D3 Skills template is expecting.
Yes, but in this case that seems rather redundant since the necromancer is a character from D2 and doesn't use the same skill template
Oops, I meant Witch Doctor, not Necromancer. There is an extra Icon at the end of the Witch Doctor's skill images that the D3 Template doesn't like. I couldn't figure how to edit the file name.
Edit: Also, in case it makes any difference I am in group Users. I mention this in case the groups have changed but not the script that assigns new wiki members into a group.

Wait a second, that article already existed by the time you edited it. Try searching for some word you know won't be in the wiki and see if you are prompted to create it, like Tyrannosaurus.
I see in the history that is was there but when I went to the page it gave me the exact same text as a garbage page would. Such as if I went to www.diablowiki.com/Diablo_8. It did not have the read, edit or history tabs. Not sure why it says it was there but I couldn't see it. I have more info below but wanted to address what I was seeing with the Evasive Fire Skill.
Click on the link on Create the page "Diablo 4" on this wiki!
Pust stuff there
So I tried searching for Diablo 8 following your example. It pulled up about 15 results to various pages with Diablo and 8 in them but didn't give me an option to create a page. I also navigated directly to Diablo 8 and it gave me the same text as I mentioned before. Also, if I try and upload a file I receive the following text on a Special page:
Special:Upload
You do not have permission to do that, for the following reason:
You do not have permission to create new pages.
So I'm pretty new to the whole wiki thing but I wanted to contribute by filling in some of the missing skill pages. I picked Evasive Fire to start and cannot figure out how to actually create the page. The wiki help says when I navigate to is there should be a "create page" option but I don't see that. All I get is, "There is currently no text in this page. You can search for this page title in other pages, or search the related logs."
I thought somewhere it said use the discussion tab to start a new page, so I did, but now I can't find where I saw that. Anyway, that's why all the info is on the discussion tab for now.
Are new members not allowed to create pages or am I just missing something basic?

Edit: Meant Witch Doctor not Necromancer.
Edit: In case it helps here is a snapshot of what the screen looks like when I go to a page that does not exist.
