Me too...

I don't know which rule we are tripping, but here's the code in usemod/wiki.pl:

sub UserCanEdit {
  my ($id, $deepCheck) = @_;

  # Optimized for the "everyone can edit" case (don't check passwords)
  if (($id ne "") && (-f &GetLockedPageFile($id))) {
    return 1  if (&UserIsAdmin());  # Requires more privledges
    # Later option for editor-level to edit these pages?
    return 0;
  }
  if (!$EditAllowed) {
    return 1  if (&UserIsEditor());
    return 0;
  }
  if (-f "$DataDir/noedit") {
    return 1  if (&UserIsEditor());
    return 0;
  }
  if ($deepCheck) {   # Deeper but slower checks (not every page)
    return 1  if (&UserIsEditor());
    return 0  if (&UserIsBanned());
  }
  return 1;
}

Looks like $EditAllowed has been enabled, or
a file called noedit has been created.

Something has changed ??!

Ivor.

  At the risk of stating the obvious..... it is read only for me too.

    Seems to have fixed itself now, though that might be because I logged

  Nope.

    I've explicitly unset the editlock and I can now edit as a normal user.
