[Mediawiki-l] can't edit pages

[BSeigel at weatrust.com]

Hi Rob, All:

Thanks, everything works now *except* editing the sidebar.

What happens is: I submit the changes (clicking "save"), and get this 
message:

Remember that this is only a preview, and has not yet been saved! 

I try to submit changes again, but the message keeps reappearing--it won't 
let me save changes.


Ben

That warning means "you're editing a protected page, so be careful" -
you aren't being prevented from editing, just advised against doing
anything drastic.

It's used, e.g. on Wikipedia, to tell administrators not to edit
protected pages during content wars, etc.
