The tool should not work for "new topic" edits

Summary by Lea Voget (WMDE)

The extension cannot help when the conflict detection algorithm fails, since it is a UI improvement.

Thank you.

Hi @IKhitron, could you elaborate a bit more? What should the tool not do for "new topic" edits and what do you mean by "new topic" edits? Thank you!

Hi Lea Voget (WMDE). Here you are. I open a talk page. I click on wiki code edit of the last section. I work on it 5 minutes. Meanwhile, somebody else clicks add section, writes something and saves. Somebody third answer him in this section and saves. Then I save and get into the tool. It shouldn't be like that, because the mechanism recognizes work on different sections.

Thanks for the specification! Unfortunately this is nothing our tool can improve. The new page appears whenever the old conflict resolution page would appear as well - only with a new layout. So since we did not change the conflict detection behavior, we cannot improve the situation here :(

Pity and thank you.
