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]].

> #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.
