Hi all,
I'm Rexford, and just posting here for the first time. Please inform if this place isn't the right area to suggest features. I was encouraged to request features here. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Its about edit conflict on Wikipedia and other projects. It happens when I get into an article to edit, but before I could save, someone else goes into the article, edits and save. It happens to myself and many out there.
Sometimes many minutes work of changes can be lost.
The feature request is this: When a person starts editing an article, and another person tries to edit that same article, he or she gets a message on screen that the article is already engaged. This suggestion is similar to how WordPress informs the second person who tries to edit a page whiles someone else is already editing.
Its likely one wouldn't like to edit a page when he or she knows someone is in it editing. I think its much better that way than allowing multiple edits on the page but allowing one persons edit to go in per save.
Thanks.
