The big problem is that non-logged in users see an [Edit] tab for non-protected
pages but when they click it, it takes them to a message saying that to edit
they need to log-in. No page source is provided. This needs to be fixed ASAP.

So do I. But the whole new system was developed over the weekend so I haven't
had time to do much documentation.

Thank you. :) And a HUGE thank you to all the developers that helped create the
template functionality in the first place. Variables are really neat! 

For example, I just have to update
http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Template:Fund_drive and that updates all
copies in 4 different languages, each with their own translation. 

Other example: 
http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Template:DonationForm/Monthly/USD

+
http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Template:DonationForm/Monthly-en  
=
http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Fundraising/USD/monthly 
via 
{{DonationForm/Monthly-en|CurrencyCode=USD}}

Just change the en to fr, jp, or de to get those versions.
