Yeah, the same thought crossed my mind. Unfortunately, superprotect has
such a well-earned negative reputation in the community that I don't think
it will ever be welcomed even in situations like this where it might be
sensible. An alternative might be to devolve the superprotect right to
authorization. For
volunteers, the worst that happens is they'll have permissions removed, and
even that would be a fight as we have seen with past examples; it's
vanishingly unlikely they'd even get blocked, let alone banned.

Just to clarify a few points: I support the concept of having a global
friendly spaces policy. I'm ambivalent and reluctant when it comes to the
particular proposal that we're discussing here. And I think that we should
keep in mind that any policy's usefulness for social change will be much
-specific or
tech-centric codes of conduct. I'd suggest we avoid fragmenting the
discussion and move it there; I'm sure there are elements in those
which would provide the clarity you seek.

Hi Quim,
Thanks. Just wondering, do we have a graph somewhere that shows trends?
There is quite a gap between tasks created and tasks closed, and if that's
normal each month then there needs to be some thought about how to fix the
gap, yes?
Thanks,
Pine

I think it would be ok to have a second Save page prompt that offers to
save the page in a user's userspace.
The save location could be something like User:Jimbo\editconflicts\pagename
Auto-deletion of the edit conflict save would not be necessary.
I also like Zack's suggestion. I think that
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 text is gone forever.
Argh.

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
history/attribution/etc
