I just discovered this problem with my MW 1.4.0

* Section2 edits are then saved.
* The changes made to section1 are lost.
Is this fixed in successive (to 1.4.0) versions of MediaWiki?
This is intended, there is no conflict merging when edits are made by
the same user.
Is there not an obvious conflict in the above scenario? Did I miss something?
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.
Alas other things are much more important to me, like case-insensitive
wiki-page names (or the capability to support such a thing via a
programmable setting).
An aside: What happens when multiple users do the same thing (ie, when
multiple users edit different sections of the same wiki page)? Will their
edits clobber one another? If not, then why not make the same capability
available for one user?
You should also uprade to lastest MediaWiki 1.4 version
:)
Yep, trying hard to find time to do that. :)
