Nice. That's results without pictures; could be interesting to have it through mediawiki or wikibase if that gives such advantage. John wrote: There isn't a way within mediawiki. however if you use the site trick in google term site:wikipedia.org you should be able to do it On Sunday,

Doesn't edit conflict show your content at the bottom of the edit conflict page? A bit unintuitive, but should be there. On Mon, 17 Nov 2014, at 09:07, Pine W wrote: I have just lost *two hours* of work due to an edit conflict. I thought using my browser's back button would fix it, but the

It sounds like the data loss here was purely due to user error, David. Also, Pine, users do not have a 'sandbox' as far as the software is aware. Maybe we could allow saving things to a given subpage of their user page though. I wonder if there would be issues with this idea due to missing
