While visiting page https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Links/en : If not logged in, I get all the tabs: Help | Discussion | Read | Edit | Edit source | View history If logged in (as user WimW), the options reduce to: Help Page | Discussion | Read | Translate | View history So, I can contribute only if not logged in...
Thanks for taking the time to report this! This does not happen for me with Firefox 26 on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Links/en when being logged in - I see all tabs (though "Edit" will bring me to translation). I am pretty sure that there is no software bug here and that this should be asked on-wiki, but in any case, enabled gadgets and browser error console output etc. is welcome.
The reported behaviour is either erratic, or has been temporary. I have been back to show it to a colleage and then it re-appeared as described in my first comment. Now when I went back once again to make some screendumps it behaved like it should do. I'll keep an eye open for it.
probably a translate bug. However, you're not supposed to edit the /en version, but the plain Help:Links version...
Truly so. "View Source" would have been sufficient for me.
Wim: Do you still face this problem occasionally? Because I've failed to reproduce so far. :-/

Hi Andre, Yes, albeit irregulary. I have added a screendump just made. regards, Wim
I don't understand the issue. Help:Links/en cannot be edited by anyone but FuzzyBot, so this bug is currently invalid. Do you have any problem on pages which should be edited, and if yes 1) does the button you're looking for really disappear or does it just move to the dropdown next to the star (in Vector), 2) is the action corresponding to the button (?action=edit it seems?) really impossible when you visit the appropriate URL, 3) should it not be?
For now I'm closing this bug. The actual issues are that you see a "edit" button at all (bug 50284) and that the standard edit button ("edit source") should be "view source" (bug 61218).
#50284: this conclusion seems to be correct, at least when not logged in. The page can be edited but not saved (Error: Unknown error: "tpt-target-page")
(In reply to comment #10) > #50284: this conclusion seems to be correct, at least when not logged in. The > page can be edited but not saved (Error: Unknown error: "tpt-target-page") Ok, sorry for the confusion. If you wish to clarify how you got to the /en subpage and what you expected to find there (with steps to reproduce/"user story"), that would be a useful separate report. For instance, the keyword in the search bar in your screenshot suggests you may have reached that page from a search engine, so maybe we should __NOINDEX__ /en subpages.
