Was going to play with the wiki to see if it would suit my needs for some thread stuff.

I get this when clicking on "Edit page".

Do I need some kind of authorisation?

No, you don't need authorisation, but your IP has been banned. Basically, the only way it could be blocked is if a spammer has used your IP to spam the wiki. So there's a number of possibilities. It's possible a spammer got the IP you have now from your ISP via DHCP. Or if you machine has been infected and taken over... I've contacted you offlist to get the information I need to unblock your ip. The wiki now mostly relies on content filters to stop spammers, but the ip block is still a useful secondary defense. Jeff
