I have several wiki docs that are growing way too big for me to not have simultaneous edits going on at the same time. If MW developers are telling me that I can not do this, I guess have no choice, but it's not a preferred constraint for me.
One way (perhaps "the wiki way") to get out of this is to split the long pages into smaller ones, and optionally present the whole collection as one page with {{includes}}. This is how it works at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_%28all%29 where the contents looks like this:
=News= {{Wikipedia:Village pump (news)}} =Policy= {{Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)}} =Technical= {{Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)}}
Edits of subsections will take place in the indivudual chapter pages, so two users can edit different chapters without conflict.
