Bug #: 37685
Summary: detect edit conflicts on data items
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: master
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: WikidataRepo
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
The item edit functionality has to implement detection of edit conflicts. Even
with atomic edits and an Ajax based UI, edit conflicts can still happen and
lead to inadvertedly overriding someone elses work:
1) A loads page X, with property foo=2 and bar=bla
2) B loads page X, with property foo=2 and bar=bla
3) A sets Foo from 2 to 3 and saves
4) B sets Foo from 2 to 4 and saves
5) B has unknowingly overwritten A's change.
Conflict resolution will be trivial with atomic edits, though: if A and B
change different properties, they do not actually generate a conflict.
