Hi, I have the following configuration. MediaWiki Version 1.13.3 Semantic MediaWiki Version 1.4.1 UBUNTU 2.6.27-9-server
There are some pages in wiki, which have been protected a few years ago. Even the sysops are not able to edit them. I have found on google search that only users from "autoconfirmed" group can edit them. that too who are registered for more than a configured time. I have added myself to autoconfirmed group. But could someone please let me know what the configured time is? And in which file this period can be changed? Thanks in advance, Sirisha

sysops should be able to edit any page.

Searching google won't show the exact protection level of your page.

Thank you for responding.
The protected page has been locked for editing even to the sysops. Two years back, the authentication was done using local database. A few months back, we have shifted to the LDAP for authentication. Is there any way to change the setting and unlock the page?

I found a quick work around for this. I just used 'viewsource' and copied the code in the page, and then deleted the page and edited it and pasted the copied code. Now, the 'edit' tab appears.
Thanks, Sirisha
