Are there any notes that indicate that this issue has been corrected by a more recent release?
Shouldn't the protect prevent you from editing a page that has been protected? It says that the page can only be edited by a Sysop, but it's allowing anyone to edit it.

First thought: You are using an insecure mediawiki version released more than two years old. There have been four major versions since. Second one: The protect right allows you to protect a page, unprotect a page and edit protected pages. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
