Description Dan Jacobson 2010-03-22 00:11:42 UTC
On e.g., the  protected page (URL above) the edit links for the
trancluded {{:...}} page are gone. The user must look up which page is
trancluded, then edit that. Why not provide the edit link to save him
that trouble. He might not even be aware that he can still edit that
(part) of the page.

Here I have trancluded the current events page into the Main Page.
The result makes it seem that users are not allowed to edit the current events!
They have to realize this is a trancluded page, and find the original.
Or I must add a big explanation.
Or I must unprotect the Main page.

(If editing really is not desired, then trancluded pages should be
protected by the administrator too instead of security via obscurity.)
