So, it turned out that Nate couldn't edit the 'meeting notes' page anymore. After some digging (Mediawiki is the worst software *EVER* to troubleshoot), it turns out that somebody (Alex :P) set the Meeting Notes page to 'protected'. That means normal users can't edit it, which is probably a smart idea. :)
To fix, I bumped up Nate's access. The reason I'm telling you all is because, if you find yourself unable to edit something, this could be the cause. Talk to me if you have any issues!
