Several times I was put in the edit confilct view while there could be no conflict f.e. last edit by myself an hour ago.

Hi, can you give us links to edits where this happened?

This appears to have just happened to me. Merge tool triggered, indicating there was an edit just now that conflicted with my current edit, however, the tool pulled a January 26 edit in the left column, with the right column indicating the only differences are my new edits, and no indication of other more recent changes.

Jan 26 edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nacho_Vigalondo&oldid=879581841

My edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nacho_Vigalondo&oldid=902987739


I was not logged in when I did my initial edit, before publish, I logged in (which is typical, since I sometimes forget to login until after I've already typed up my edit). I did not use the preview button.

The Merge tool triggered after pressing publish. I then opened a new window to type up this report. I opened the original page to grab some edit-stamp links and the history indicates that my new changes have already been committed. I never deployed my publish from the Merge tool page.


edit: that was weird. mediawiki created an IP-address home-page for me while I was logged in on mediawiki. I already had a userpage but it didn't seem to see it.

Is there any update about this? I'm getting this fairly often while making only category edits with HotCat. Not every time, but a good percentage.

Hey, can you please give us more information about this issue in the Phabrikator-ticket: phab:T225656. Links to examples or anything else, that might help us to pinpoint to when this error occurs?
