I found a somewhat arcane hack to edit a page, after you've
authenticated as an editor as above:
Navigate to a page you wish to edit, that doesn't have a
"edit this page" link at the bottom.
Manually edit the URL at the top of your browser, to look
like:
http://wiki.jach.hawaii.edu/pdl_wiki-bin/wiki?...
where "..." above looks like:
action=edit&id=Getting_Started_with_PDL
instead of:
action=browse&id=Getting_Started_with_PDL
The former URL will present a page for editing the page whose
id is specified. I haven't tried editing without first doing
the authentication step.
It looks to me as if something looking like:
http://wiki.jach.hawaii.edu/pdl_wiki-bin/wiki/Sitemap
is equivalent to:
http://wiki.jach.hawaii.edu/pdl_wiki-bin/wiki?action=browse&id=Sitemap
i.e. the slash following "wiki" can be replaced with "?" and the
"action" and "id" parameters specified explicitly.
Also I sometimes, after editing, see the original version rather
than the new version of the page. Usually going to the "recent
versions" link to view both versions will lead to my consistently
seeing the correct new version subsequently.
Don't ask me. I'm just reporting what I observe.
