That smells as though the "CMFWikiFolder" type object has the ultra-seekrit
"stealth" feature.  *Checking my sandbox*  Yep, the 'meta_type' of CMFWikiFolder
is not explicitly set, and so the value set in the type object ('CMF Wiki')
doesn't match the object (which has 'Skinned Folder' by inheritance).

Two fixes / workarounds are possible:

   - Change the meta_type field on the type object to 'Skinned Folder';
     this works immediately, with no problems, but is going to break
     after we fix the real bug.

   - Apply the following patch to CMFWiki:

+++ CMFWiki/CMFWikiPage.py	10 Oct 2001 12:41:21 -0000

  class CMFWikiFolder( SkinnedFolder ):

+    meta_type="CMF Wiki"
+
      def PUT_factory(self, name, typ, body):
          if find(typ, 'text') != -1:
              return makeCMFWikiPage(name, '', body)

      And then arrange to get your CMFWikiFolder instance re-seated in
      its containing folder, so the cached meta_type is updated.  The
      simplest way to do that would be to cut and paste the wiki into
      a new location, and then cut and paste it back.

Sorry for the confusion!

Tres.
