I have found sessions time out if left for a while, the remember me thing uses a cookie to log you in again when you move to another page, this is obviously happening after the save process. You may be able to adjust your php.ini file to increase the timeouts, or I may be completely wrong about the whole process?

Do you work with authentification? Maybe your Session was terminatet by timeout or similar things
I assumed that since "Remember me" is selected, sessions would not timeout. When the user presses the save button, a preview is displayed. Just clicking save again will save the page without requiring a login...
So I wonder, what happens if someone else modified the same page during the day? Would the preview show the changes of both users? Would the middle user lose its changes?

this is a bad idea, but it happens to me also :-(
I understand. I try to teach my users not to do that, but sometimes it's
more of a matter of writing a page, being distracted for several hours, then coming back to the computer and going "Woah, i should finish writing this."
Is there a mechanism in mediawiki to deal with such things? Does mediawiki check if changes have occured so that a conflict would occur and request the user to "merge" his own page along with the other page?

I've scanned my php.ini file and the onyl semi-relevant entry i could find is: ; Default timeout for socket based streams (seconds) default_socket_timeout = 60
I know it must not be this one because pages left open for several minutes will still save immediately. It's only after several hours that the timing out seems to occur. Would there be other timeout mechanisms, possibly in mediawiki itself?
