--- Comment #33 from Phil Ringnalda <[email protected]> ---
Sweet that Bugzilla gave me a "mid-air collision detected" warning :)

Not sure what to propose other than maybe behind a pref, off-by-default.

I can absolutely see the benefit of this, say in a university library with a
small number of well-trained catalogers who either know how to merge or can ask
someone at the next desk over.

But for me, with a couple users of the advanced editor and a large number of
users of the basic editor who mostly know how to import a record and save it,
but will sometimes notice a typo ten minutes later (by which time I've
corrected five autocreated authority records) it's going to be baffling. And
some of those are elementary school library aides behind generic logins that I
don't even have a way to contact, much less to train to use the biblio merge
UI.

So whether or not it only affects basic editor users, I'll still have to find a
way to make sure that for us, it pretty much never gets hit. If it lands
unpreffed, I'll have to modify about 30 reports of cataloging errors to only
tell me about them when the 005 says the record has been idle for several
hours, and probably switch correcting bogus new authority records to leaving
them bogus for at least 24 hours.
