WIki Documentation: Not allowed to edit page

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
I tend to think of it as a neat protection against problematic spam.  Also as a reward for good behaviour and a way of making people test out their skills and gain basic understanding before launching off  into writing new pages.  It's by looking at other people's pages a bit that i really learned a lot.  Seeing how the theory is implemented by people, or dodged or worked-around and some neat tricks too.    


So, it's a bit inconvenient but worth it imo.  

Regards from
Tom :)

>>I remember having trouble with this too when i first tried.  I'm not sure how i fixed it either :(  So, i created the page for you this time.  Maybe it's something like you have to do a certain number of edits (vague feeling it might be 5 edits?) before it allows you to create a page?
