Description

Author: brian

Description:
I have both the preferences set for section-editing - [edit] link and right-click on heading. On a
protected page, right-clicking on a heading does nothing (it should show the source for that section)
and the [edit] link disappears (it should become a [view source] link).

Version: unspecified
Severity: enhancement

Well, found a duplicate just above; T15079: Improve intersection of transcluded sections and protection is similar but not the same.
