Description:
When you try to edit an item that's been protected, you still see the "edit"/"add" buttons and have the ability to type in the text fields. While the "save" button is initially greyed out, once you start typing, it turns blue again. It's only when you try to save the change that you get the message saying the page has been protected. Seems to me it would be better to have all of the buttons just not appear, like when you're viewing an old revision, and to have the notice about the page being protected pop up in a bubble, like the one that tells you if you're editing logged out.
