Could someone tell the mathematical expression that would enable me to calculate how many days new users are prevented from editing semi-protected pages on the French Wikipedia ?

Four.

The English Wikipedia page [[Wikipedia:Semi-protection policy]] says "Very new" is currently defined as four days", but that does not seem to be the case on the French Wikipédia, as a 6 day long new user tells that she still can't edit a semi-protected page.

Perhaps there's some other problem, then. For instance, maybe the page isn't actually semi-protected. Maybe the user registered more recently and miscounted. Maybe they clicked the wrong thing. Maybe something about the page or the account changed.

There's nothing more I could possibly hope to say about it without some information to look into the problem. For starters I will need:

1. The name of the page in question
2. The username of the user in question
