Topic on Help talk:Paragraph-based Edit Conflict Interface

Hi. Maybe I did not understand you well, but I thought that the bubble question should appear once. It appears every time. Why do you thing it is a good idea? Thank you.

Hi @IKhitron, by the bubble question do you mean the pop up that allows you to select your base version? Our reasoning behind always letting users choose their base version is that the base version should be selected depending on the conflict at hand. If you did many small edits, and the other user just changed one paragraph, it might be better to use your version as the base version. However, if you just changed one word and the other user changed a lot of things, it might be better to use the other user's version as the starting point.

I see. But is there a way to change the choise if I want to do this, and not every time? For me, I'll never answer "my version". Thank you.

Thanks for the specification! I created a phab ticket to keep track of the suggestion.

Thank you very much.
