[Chrome] Wiki - edit permissions set to "Anyone" gets "You don't have access..." for non-mod users

When a non moderator tries to edit a wiki page set to anyone can edit, they get an error message.

This used to work on new reddit and still does work in old.reddit

Same happens for private and public subreddit

Global settings set in sh.reddit:

  • Public visibility - ON

  • Who can edit - Anyone

  • Requirements - 1 karma, 1 day

Page in question settings: Who can edit - Use wiki permissions

Non-moderator goes to that page and can view it and there is an [Edit] button but selecting that gets "You don't have access to this page. Ask your mod team for permission"

Doing the same in old.reddit works fine and allows non-moderators to edit.

Moderator access is not affected.

...by the way, adding a contributor fails as well with setting "Approved contributors" and sample user added to Approved editors.
