When they see the "Edit this link" page, the message it brings across goes contrary to what they firmly believe in (namely, that nobody can edit the page just like that) and so they subconsciously filter it out. Even if they consciously think about it, they probably come to the conclusion that clicking on the link will definitely bring up a password prompt or similar. There isn't much we can do about it other than working on making the way Wikipedia works more known to the general public. That is a slow and gradual process. Timwi
