Forum:User account (not an IP) blocked from editing semi-protected articles?

Hi there. My wiki skills are rather average, so perhaps I'm doing something wrong. I seem to be blocked from editing semi-protected pages, even though I'm using a user account instead of an anonymous IP. Instead of an "edit" option there's just a "view source" option and a message that the page has been locked to prevent editing. Examples would be the page on Ashur and Broken Steel. Are these pages locked against all non-admin users, or is my account level not high enough?

I just bought all 3 DLCs 2 days ago, and finished The Pitt (add-on) yesterday, so I realized that much of the info on Ashur was speculative, and wanted to trim it down a bit. I also wanted to add some info on new encounters to the Broken Steel page, such as Hank's Electronics at Jury Street Metro and the BOS vs. Talon Company fight at Fort Bannister.

Thanks.

 * Thanks, I completely forgot to do that. Hmm... even after confirming my email address, these pages still seem to be blocked. I even reset my browser cache. Does the autoconfirmation take a couple hours to register? Joylock 19:09, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * How old is your account? I think new users are not given autoconfirmed status until the account is at least several days old (the wikia help user levels page says 4 days), to prevent account-creation block avoidance. That's more the likely cause, now that I think about it. --lordebon 19:25, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, my account's about 4 or 5 days old, but I only just finished the autoconfirm feature a couple hours ago. Oh, well, I guess I'll just wait a few days and see (maybe finish Broken Steel while I'm at it). Thanks for the help. Joylock 20:31, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Well, the protection level blocks anon and "newly registered users" (since the last wikia update at least, previously it was just anons IIRC). "Newly registered" used to be defined as "not autoconfirmed", don't know whether that's still valid. The pages are definitely not at sys-op protection level, only very few pages here are and those are mostly Portal pages and the like. -- Porter21 (talk) 21:05, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
