0.  What version of PmWiki are you running?

1.  If you've entered the admin password, you'll be able to edit
    the pages.  Be sure to logout before checking this.

2.  If any of the groups have edit passwords set for the group, then
    those passwords will override the site password.

3.  You might want to instead use:

    if ($action == 'edit'
        && preg_match('/\\.(All)?RecentChanges$/', $pagename))
      $action = 'browse';

    which absolutely prevents editing of RecentChanges, even with
    the admin password.
