The encountered bug is the following : I can not use the "modification" shortcut on the french Wikinews where I have an account with the username Grimlock : all the creations and global modifications of an article are as a consequence forbidden for me. Moreover, some modifications in "my preferences" are also blocked. This occurs since yersteday, whereas no modifications of my wikinews specifications where done just before. The error message is the following : "you have chosen to open index.php which is a PHP file from http://fr.wikinews.org. What shoud (the navigator) do ?" when I click on the shortcut. Nevertheless, all inside modifications (modificate shortcuts close to a paragraph title, for example) are allowed. This problem is present on both Windows and Linux OS, either I use as navigator Internet Explorer 6.0, Mozilla 1.7.6 or FireFox 2.0 and, when I'm not logged, the bug does not occur. I precise that on all the other wikis I have a count on, this bug does not occur. I suppose it can be an error in my monobook.js, but other people on the wiki have the same one, and they do not encounter any problem
The part concerning the preferences seems to work again : I did not proceed to any modifications.
This isn't too clear as to what the problem is. Please provide a clear explanation of what you did to produce the problem, including step-by-step instructions. I'm going to hazard a wild first guess, based on the "download index.php" issue, that this might be the good old external editor preference kicking in, in which case, see if deselecting "use an external editor" in your account preferences fixes the apparent problem. If not, please provide further details.
