"This status can't be changed as it has been set by an administrator."
I guess you will have to take this one to support.

I'm afraid there is only one status field: the status of an edition can either be "public", "deleted" (=merged) or "invalid". Since staff were the one who set it as "invalid", I can't change the status to "deleted".
