Description Karsten Hiddemann 2009-10-06 10:39:53 UTC 
I have already told Skizzerz about this in private, I'm only filing a bug now so that I'll get a notification when this will eventually get fixed:

This is apparently when a user doesn't have edit rights. As soon as you use "action=edit" on an article, you'll run into an endless loop like that - even for discussion pages, and independently of edittalk and createtalk rights.

Expected behaviour: Deny access like with a disabled action=viewsource and action=diff or require to login like with a disabled action=history.
Comment 1 Mark A. Hershberger 2011-07-20 20:48:41 UTC 
Marked invalid since the entire extension was removed from Bz at the request of the Ryan who said the extension was no longer under development.
