Even after one has finished editing a topic, it will
automatically be locked by that user for **1 hour**.
To keep editing open to everyone immediately after
you're finished, click the "Release edit lock" box at the
bottom of the page before "Saving changes".

PS
the explanation for this utility :
"Topics get locked for some time (default is one hour)
whenever a user edits, previews or saves a topic. This is to
prevent simultaneous topic updates. There is a lock warning
if another user tries to edit a topic while the lock is
still on.
It is worth noting that all topic changes you do within the
lock time will go into the same revision. In other words, if
you find a mistake immediately after saving the topic, then
TWiki will pretend that it never happened if you fix it
while the topic is still locked.
You can remove the lock by checking the "Release edit lock"
checkbox in preview. This is a way to let other people know
that you are done with your editing. Note: Please remember
not to go back in your browser in case you checked the box
and after that you decide to do more changes to the topic.
Instead press the Edit link to re-edit your page.
Note: The initial state of the checkbox can be set to on
with the RELEASEEDITLOCKCHECKBOX preferences variable. See
TWikiPreferences for more"
