There's been a problem for the past few days on the Afrikaans wikipedia. Everytime I try and preview/edit, I get:
For future reference, when this occurs do:

This fixes up a problem with the old software where it sometimes doesn't clear its lock file and so thinks that someone else is trying to save a page at the same time, and backs off waiting... and waiting... until it gives up. The above command clears the lock manually.
I'm going to have to see if I can change the address in the config; Lee isn't really involved in Wikipedia much anymore.
How hard would it be to make it put that unlock link in the error message? Just a thought.
