Hey everyone. I finished Za'kiir's profile, and went to add it to the Glossary of PPC Agents, but for some reason, the editing doesn't work when I try it on that page. The tools turn gray/unusable. I've checked it thrice, i'm signed in, and still nothing. The editing bar works everywhere else, just not with that page.
You two are reasonably new to the Wiki, right? I'm pretty sure there's a thing where you have to have had an account on it for a certain amount of time before you can touch some of the pages. It's probably that.
Unfortunately, that's about all I remember about this. And, ironically, I think the information might be on the wiki somewhere...

The Glossary isn't a protected page, so they shouldn't have a problem with it. Anyway, I know Alleb's account has existed longer than four days, which is the time it takes to get past that latency period. More information about user access levels here.
I suspect this is some sort of bug with Wikia, and I already advised Alleb to talk to them if she couldn't find a solution within Community Central. Silenthunder should do the same. If it is a bug, the more reports, the better.

It happens with the "Latest Story Releases" on the front page too. It lets me use VisualEditor, but won't save my changes, and it won't let me use Source at all.
I've just tried it, and it works fine. You clicked the edit button and then couldn't do anything? Is that what happened? Is it giving you any messages?

Would you mind taking a screenshot of the problem? I might have to send this to Wikia Staff as a bug report.
