Thanks for getting back to me TotallyTinkerbell!

You may not realise this, but when you replied your system sent me an email with your reply - that's the first version of your reply - where you said that the page should have been unlocked and I was not free to edit.

Obviously somehting happened to changed to mind, but be aware that if you do that it's still the original version that gets emailed out!

Also, if it is policy to not let newbies edit pages, then you should state that clearly somewhere in your documentation! I went to quite some lenght to read any rules and intoductions to find a reason for not being able to edit.

If there is some kind of points system before certain pages can be edited, the points system needs to be clearly docuemented and the pages marked such that it is clear why a page appears locked - is it generally locked, or just to newbies, or on a time based system (for example until an episode has aired).

If you make up rules on the fly, and don't publish them for everybody to see and comment on, you will turn this into a private members club, rather than a wiki.
