The Author field must contain a value
Author is a required field
A value is required for Author
Author required
You must provide a value for Author
Error: no Author specified!

Whatever the text is by default, it should be easily configurable by
the WikiAdmin IMHO.  $AuthorError = "Give me an Author!"

Rather than <h3>, you should probably surround the text with <div
class='wikierror'>...</div> or something. (This is just some bias
showing through. It feels better to me to do ".wikierror { color:red; }"
instead of "#wikiedit form>h3 { color:red; }")
