The problem seems to be that we frequently are out of
the "almost always" :-)
What is the behaviour must we expect when this happens? As far as we see here, once the
"second" user hits the Save button, it is redirected to a kind of
"difference between
revisions" showing the differences between the
current version and the
"in troubles" page.
This is done to make the second user aware of the changes, so he can
merge both.
Please, how must we proceed? By saving the wiki markup
in, for instance, a
notepad file, login out (if anonymous edition is disable as it is
here, waiting
until the page is available and copy-pasting then what
we consider the
new markup?
I think this is a bit dangerous: I don't know if
more changes have
been introduced
since I copied the page contents.
Then the second one would simply "won" without noticing.
One solution could be stating that before editing very-used articles
they had to do a microedit adding a template {{i'm editing this|~~~~}}
and then do the full edit (removing the template on it) so if a user
wants to edit an article and it has the template, he should wait (if the
template was added recently, of course).
Another way could be doing one edit per section. Edits on different
sections merge gracefully, and an edit conflict on a section will be small.
