Extension:EditWarning

The EditWarning extension displays a warning if user edits a page/section which is currently being edited.

On pages which are being edited by many users simultaneously, edit conflicts can easily happen. This extension tries to avoid this problem by showing a warning message if the user edits a page that is being edited by other users at the same time. It's very similar to the MoinMoin Wiki warning with the difference that it doesn't lock the page.

It's not recommended to use this extension if anonymous users are allowed to edit pages, because it ignores anonymous page edits.

Configuration

Known Issues

 * The extension can only recognize the cancel of page editing if the user uses the "Cancel" button. Otherwise the warning will be showed until the timeout (default 10 minutes).
