I have broken the respect for nowiki by the kludgy way I hooked it to
ParserAfterTidy instead of earlier as in the SVN version. I did this
to look for and squash the section edit tags. But clearly that has
to get put back in.

:It works when I am not logged in, but gives no warning that the
section is protected until after the edit is attempted. Of course,
one can see the tag, if one is looking for it. [[User:Fred Bauder|

Yes, the warning happening only on save is annoying. That's a major
reason I suppressed the section edit tags since someone wouldn't even
see the protect tags in some situations. I'm not sure how one would
implement a less annoying warning system, esp. when the user clicks
the top edit tag. At least not easily. I can imagine doing
something to replace the text in the textbox with a big comment <!--
noneditable content here id=some unique id--> and then put it back
upon saving. But that would be a lot more complex.
Shows as:

I guess it must be this way, otherwise it could be defeated by the
simple addition of nowiki tags inclosing the protected section.
However it does present a problem in explaining the tag.
This was tried on a system which has a robust, and troublesome,
caching system, ibiblio. Seemed to take effect immediately.
