[Wikidata-bugs] [Maniphest] T106456: Editing label and description simultaneously conflicts with existing items which have the new label and old description

  Does such a problem really have to persist for 8 and a half years without a 
solution? Isn't it possible to turn off the block completely if it doesn't work 
and prevents normal editing?

  I think the best approach to implement this would be:
  
  1. try to edit the label, then the description (just like now); if that fails,
  2. try to edit the description, then the label (works better for some 
conflicts; if that fails,
  3. try to edit both at once, only as a last resort, because it makes for a 
less granular edit with (until T220696 
) a worse edit summary;
  4. only if all of them fail, show an error to the user
  
  But that might be tricky to implement.
