The user can't find the edit link, because he wasn't logged in.

Observation

The wiki page said the "hit edit and add comments." The user didn't see edit, however, because he wasn't logged in. The edit bar said "immutable page" where edit was expected.

Task

Editing a page.

Users

This user is a typical user and had successfully edited pages before, but had somehow become logged out.

Context

The problem was reported via email.

Moin version 1.3.4. (I looked at the ThemeBase code for 1.3.5 and it appears this would be the same.

Theme: Modern

Discussion

I believe the user failed because "immutable page" didn't cue him to do anything.

Having a more informative message in place of "edit" would help. Some possibilities:
