ಸಹಾಯ:Edit conflict
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This page discusses edit conflicts, and how to deal with them. To understand what an edit conflict is, consider the following situation:
- Alice clicks "Edit this page" on a page.
- Bob clicks "Edit this page" on the same page, while Alice is editing.
- Alice finishes her edits and clicks "Save page". The page is saved with Alice's version while Bob is still editing.
- Bob finishes his edits and clicks "Save page". Bob gets an "edit conflict" page, because the software can't automatically reconcile the differences between Alice's and Bob's versions of the page. The edit conflict page gives Bob a chance to reconcile the differences manually.
- This article deals with the technical problem where several editors try to edit the same page at once, leading to a conflict the software cannot resolve automatically. For editing disagreements between editors, see Wikipedia:Edit warring
