It sounds like the data loss here was purely due to user error, David.
Also, Pine, users do not have a 'sandbox' as far as the software is aware. Maybe we could allow saving things to a given subpage of their user page though. I wonder if there would be issues with this idea due to missing history/attribution/etc....

James: would it be possible to automatically save the text of a page to a user's sandbox when they encounter an edit conflict? This would overwrite the content of the sandbox, but that could be reverted using the normal history page for the sandbox.
+1 to something that achieves this effect. (Dataloss = major high-priority bug.)
