It has not rotted, you are still listed as editor :)

Strange.  Why then don't I see an "edit" button, but the message
"Want to edit, but don't see an edit button when logged in? Click here."?

I logged in with my community account.

That message is shown whether you're logged in or not though.

If you click "preferences" in the top right corner (next to the
indicator that you're logged in), what does it show under "Member of
groups"?

I am logged in - at any rate, I see the "log out" link top right.

Username:        Laurenz
Member of groups:    Autoconfirmed users, Users, Editors

The first two groups have hyperlinks to non-existing Wiki pages,
but "Editors" doesn't have a hyperlink.

Perhaps asking the question in a different way -- is the lack of an edit
button on a single page, or across all pages?

Thanks,

I tried several, all exhibit the same symptom.

At this point, it is not vital for me to modify something in th Wiki,
but it would be great if it could be sorted out eventually.
