In Wikipedia, the pages are protected by the "protect" tab. In your
wiki, you take the permission "edit" from anonymous users. Unluckily,
the source is not shown when showing the error message about "you have
to log in to edit". You can base on the something obsolete patch in
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1859 to redevelop the code
(unluckily, it wasn't commited before it became obsolete).
