Description

I just spent 30 minutes on a wild-goose chase because of this.

On this site:

www.wiki-translation.com

I was trying to set permissions on this page:

http://www.wiki-translation.com/AMTA+2010+Workshop+on+Collaborative+and+Crowdsourced+Translation&objectName=AMTA+2010+Workshop+on+Collaborative+and+Crowdsourced+Translation

so that anonymous users can edit it. I want this to be limited to just that one page. But it didn't seem to work. I was able to edit the page as anon, but when I saved, I would get the following message:

"You are not logged in. Go to Log in Page"


I assumed that it was a bug with the permission override.

But as it turns out, I just was forgetting to enter the Captcha code! But the message was so misleading that it took me 30 mins to figure that out.

In cases where the user forgets to enter the Captcha code, the system really should just prompt the user again for the Captcha (but not display any of the other fields in order not to confuse him).
