I expect you mean:

:Server Name:sname Name (title!=25) +

>Server Name <sname>

First, what does the wiki page source look like? Could you copy
and paste an example?

We added a title!... option that prevents an author from
editing this field, so the editeform action should display:

Server name followed by the name of the server, with no edit
box

Not:

Again, I think you mean:

:Server Name:title (title) +

The important thing is what wiki page source gets produced. If this
goes wrong, the forms editing function will get confused. It should
look like this:

:Server Name:text of server name
(:title text of server name:)

If it's anything else, something is wrong!

No problem -- it looks to me like a form template coding error.
