It shows for everyone, but that way it prepares everyone for the eventual (I guess?) shutdown of the wiki.

I propose that we restore write access for plugin maintainers at least for a time, to allow them to clear out wiki pages after migrating the content elsewhere. The script for that basically exists at https://github.com/jenkins-infra/wiki-maintainers-updater -- grant write access only to that group and you're basically done.

Combined with the giant notice on top (perhaps slightly reworded) it should be clear that this is temporary, and the expectation is for the content to be moved, rather than just edited.
