However as soon as you edit a page, you get:
"Please don't edit this page directly unless it's a typo or another minor error: to contribute to this Manual, please read these guidelines <http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Meta:Guides/Writer_Guide#Official_Manual_Review_Workflow>. " Maybe rephrase that to something like: "Please please read these guidelines <http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Meta:Guides/Writer_Guide#Official_Manual_Review_Workflow> before you contribute to this Manual.

Maybe just remove the "warning" on the entry page ? Isn't it enough to see the advise to first read the docs before editing, when a user decides to contribute to a page ? >> 2.)

Again, i'll cross post this task to the bf-docboard > and see if we can get it cleaned up. The problem seems to be caused when i switch between being logged in and logged off from the Wiki. So i can fix the behaviour as follows: - delete all cookies - log in to the wiki - start navigating ... now the navigation works ... after work is done ... - log off from the wiki (navigation broken) - delete cookies - now the navigation works again Maybe that helps to fix it without need to do the cookie tricks :) Thanks for taking care !!! -gaia- _______________________________________________ Bf-committers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
