Actually, using a different timestamp than the last
revision's timestamp
will fail: the edit conflict check requires that the timestamp are
*exactly the same*, so timestamps of earlier revisions *or* later
revisions *will* *not* *work*. You really need to get that one
timestamp. (I apologize for overusing the * in this paragraph.)
This is what I initially thought, but was told by someone it was not correct.
So to clarify things.
I get the contents of a page along with timestamp and edit token.
a delay
someone else edits the page
I submit an edit request with my timestamp and edit token and my new contents
in this case it will fail ?
Or should it be like
I get the contents of a page along with timestamp and edit token
a delay
someone else edits the page
get another timestamp of latest revision
Submit a edit request with my new timestamp and edit token and my new
contents
