I am slightly confused over the editing of a page and avoiding a conflict
using the api.
The documentation says
"To edit a page, an edit token is required. This token is the same for all
pages, but changes at every login. If you want to protect against edit
conflicts (which is wise), you also need to get the timestamp of the last
revision. You can obtain these as follows:"
And I had implemented this literally, so that on submitted the edit, I
first get the timestamp of the very last revision and then submit my
changes. But I assume I really need to
Get page contents and store the timestamp - make some changes to the page.
when I edit pass my timestamp back to the API.
Is this correct? If so, maybe the documentation would be better to say
"you also need the timestamp of the revision your edits are based on" ?
Best Regards
