Thanks mpt! I will follow your advice in the future.

At same time -- could have been as long as a couple of years ago -- I
seem to recall trying to update release notes or some other important
page and it being a locked wiki page. I guess I was also confused by
Tollef sending an email specifically saying "could some of you
proofread it and give feedback, please?"

Tollef keep rocking my world with world class documentation! Of
course, I don't mind you ignoring my very minor suggestions, but I do
appreciate acknowledging whether or not it is generally useful.
