Bug competing edits
I had a case today where I was evidently editing a page at the same time someone else was. He won and my edits were trashed upon save. (Or at least this is what I surmise happened.)
Is this possible? —Bil
Umm, trashed on save? I hope not. I hope that if you look at the ‘show all changes’ for the page it will show both edits in the history? I seriously want to know if they are not.
I was paying more attention this time. Two of us were editing the same page. I saved my changes, and they showed up on the page. Next, he saved his changes, and my changes were removed (but still available via the “show all changes”). —Bil
As for a solution. There seem to be two routes:- Put a ‘lock’ on the page, so that only one person can see the edit view at once.
- Try and merge competing edits.
I would prefer to merge, but don’t know how to implement…
Saw a discussion of workflow for UserLand’s wiki software that seemed simple enough (but does not take the merge route). —Bil
Ok. A pages being edited list and notification seems possible. I will look into what can be done. —tamc
