i searched and tried what i found to solve it, but...

here is my edit.html which contains my form:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
	<title>{{ page_name }} - Editing</title>
</head>

<body>
	<h1>Editing {{ page_name }}</h1>
	<form method="post" action="/wikicamp/{{ page_name }}/save/">
	{% csrf_token %}
		<textarea name="content" rows="20" cols="60">{{ content }}</textarea>
		<input type="submit" value="Save Page"/>
	</form>
</body>

</html>

and here is my views.py:

# ...

def edit_page(request, page_name):
	    try:
		page = Page.objects.get(pk = page_name)
		content = page.contents
	except Page.DoesNotExist:
		content = ""
		return render(request, "edit.html", {"page_name": page_name, "content": content})

# ...

i changed my views.py as was suggested in a webpage to this:

@csrf_protect
def edit_page(request, page_name):
	c = {}
	try:
		page = Page.objects.get(pk = page_name)
		content = page.contents
	except Page.DoesNotExist:
		content = ""
		return render(request, "edit.html", {"page_name": page_name, "content": content}, c)

but it didn't help.

thank you for your help.

Did you check that the csrf_token is actually inserted into the form by looking at the HTML in the browser?
