Next time, head to the article's talk page, add a topic, and click "include -> template", type "semi protected edit request" and fill that template and submit your edit to the talk page. It is effectively what you've just done, but on wikipedia itself.

A place to share interesting articles from Wikipedia.
Rules:
- Only links to Wikipedia permitted
- Please stick to the format "Article Title (other descriptive text/editorialization)"

- On Casual Tuesdays, we allow submissions from wikis other than Wikipedia.
Recommended:
- If possible, when submitting please delete the "m." from "en.m.wikipedia.org". This will ensure people clicking from desktop will get the full Wikipedia website.
- Use the search box to see if someone has previously submitted an article. Some apps will also notify you if you are resubmitting an article previously shared on Lemmy.

There is something wrong with UX of Wikipedia edit page if someone found it easier to go to some other forum and ask for edit instead of editing it on Wikipedia itself
I'm pretty sure this is explained on the talk page with a bigass banner but that's only for those with the eyes to see

The article is semiprotected—it’s possible OP already tried to make the edit himself and wasn’t able to.
