This is a long-standing bug in the wiki software: it takes you to the 
UserPreferences page, instead of the page you wanted to edit.

This will be fixed next time the wiki software is upgraded.

In the meantime, here's the workaround: once you've clicked "Login" and 
arrived at UserPreferences, click Back, then Back again, then Reload, 
then Edit.

Cheers
