Forum:You do not have permission to edit pages in the Article namespace.

I've just joined and am getting this message when trying to create a page, is it something to do with auto spam bot protection? i read an old post that it used to be.

full message is :

You do not have permission to create pages, for the following reason: You do not have permission to edit pages in the Article namespace.

how do i fix this or do i just have to wait?

thanks
