I just logged in and saw that my name was at the top of the page. The main page has an edit tab. I went to MediaWiki:Sidebar and there was no edit tab. However, there is a create tab and when I clicked on that it went to an edit page and let me edit the page. When I saved it, I get the page and now there is an edit tab. So, does this special page not actually exist until you create it the first time? Odd and certainly not intuitive but I can live with it. Anyway, sorry to take your time. It's working now.
