Allow anonymous users to edit
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

I would like to enable edit for anonymous users since I'm not sure what else I need to set other than check the "edit" permision for "*" users.
Right now even with that enabled when you try to edit as anonymous you get:
"You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reason:
You are not allowed to execute the action you have requested."
The reason is that a lot of people want to contribute, but don't want to make an account so it's kinda annoying.

I can edit your wiki with no issues, so whatever the bug was seems to have been resolved. On a side note, you probably want to protect your main page to prevent vandalism on the first page people see.

You're logged in. That's not anon.

@AmandaCath: Please be careful and understand the issue before commenting.

This effect is caused by the EditSubpages extension, which is installed on your wiki. It looks like that extension is poorly named, and may not be doing what you think it is doing.

ah, yes that was the issue, definitly poorly named extension, something like lockpages would be a better name for it
thanks
