You'll see it in the file, it looks for 'edit', change it to 'editpage'. Now the links will still go to 'edit' and you get an error, but because you know what it should be you simply go to the addressbar and add 'page' to the end of the url and it works fine. It makes it a tiny bit of a inconvenience but saves loads of time not having to revert edits. Alternately there is a google page about hardening your wiki against spam, which also works but is a bit more complicated with the mods you have to install etc. One thing you can do if you find your the only one editing it is to change the php so that the url is a bit different for editing.
