Yes, I remember spam saga and introduction of additional editing 
restrictions.  I believe there are multiple permissions levels though, 
and the exact configurations may have evolved over time. It looks like 
the WikiGuide points to  ~ubuntu-wiki-editors for basic permissions.  
Then there is ~ubuntu-community-wiki-editors which have the elevated 
permissions I mentioned.  IIRC, some important pages are 
locked/immutable, even for editors, so there may be another set of 
permissions assigned separately.

I assumed Little Girl was already a member of this team, given how long 
they've been around and the link to the bug report on Discourse, but 
perhaps that was a poor assumption.  Are we able to check whether there 
is indeed an editing permission issue either with that page or with 
Little Girl's access?

Thanks,
