1) How do I unlock the discussion page so that anyone
can post to it, without them being able to edit the

Talk pages aren't automatically protected when their parent articles are.
If they were, they wouldn't be very useful!
It sounds like you're using some sort of customized wiki-wide access
restrictions, like the ones at
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Preventing_Access#Restrict_editing_of_an_entiā¦
If so, what are you using? (This will also help determine the answer for
your fourth question.)
2) The <ref> and <references/> tags do not work
according to instructions in my experience. They
just
display literally in the page without being
interpreted by Mediawiki. Am I missing something?
You need Cite.php (
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Cite).
3) How do I find out which version of MediaWiki
I'm
running?
