I appear to be prevented from editing at school due to idiots at the school using the school network (and, thus, IP address) to vandalise pages. As far as I can tell, the way to renable my ability to edit at school while logged in is by placing the below code in this page - if I am wrong, I apologise for any inconvenience caused to the moderators and would appreciate it if the system could be better explained to me.
