This is pretty wikitech, but e.g. on a user page, say there's a
link to [[mind control]]. I don't want that to default to
[[user:mind control]].
Ah, ok. That might be a good point, although I myself wouldn't mind it. The
other side of the coin is that I now have to type [[user:Jan
Hidders/Sandbox]] instead of [[Jan Hidders/Sandbox]].
But you wouldn't have to do that if subpage functionality were turned
on for the user pages. Then all you'd have to type is [[/Sandbox]].
#5 Edit conflict on using back button to edit
some more
I'm not so sure that's a bug. You can always click on the edit link again if
you want to edit some more. I know we could simply arrange things so that a
user can never conflict with him or her-self, but that might lead to
mistakes like starting to re-edit the penultimate version.
Oh, it's definitely a bug. It was a very useful feature in the
UseModWiki software, since it takes much longer to load the edit page
from the server than from the local browser cache (and on a smaller
but still cumulatively significant point, it's a little bit faster to
find the back button or hit the back-page command than to scroll/find
the "edit page link").
There's no need to keep users from conflicting with themselves; it's
just a matter of fixing the way timestamping is handled. It shouldn't
be browserside.
