did I just kill this?! NVM it got saved.

You aren't the first one... Doc did, I have once as well... not sure how we can stop it, as it seems like a technical restriction, but you can revert your changes if you kill it. --The1exile 2 May 2006 19:24 (CEST)

The error comes when you start writing and while you are writing someone also saves in between. Because the wiki saves YOUR change overwriting the page as it was when you clicked "edit page". When it wwants to write the changes he checks first out the current page with the one who was there before you clicked the "edit page" button.... How can it be avoided? Easily: first you write everything you want and then do NOT save the page. Just copy the text that you have written. Then open the page normally again. Push "edit page", paste the text you just copied and save it. This way it's highly improbable that in the 10 5 seconds you push the "edit page", paste and push "save page", someone else also saved in between. - Shoenaemaeh 2 May 2006 19:36 (CEST)

Still a technical issue that could be fixed... on wikipedia when you save and someone else has edited then it stops your edit, and tells you that someone has edited it. If you don't want to re-type your whole message then click back and find what you typed, copy, and then go forward again. Not sure why the BM wiki doesn't have this in place. --The1exile 2 May 2006 20:17 (CEST)
