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.
 
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.
 
Any advice will be welcome! Thank you in advance,
 
Saludos!
