Wikid77 <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #14 from Wikid77 <[email protected]> --- The full-page preview has been recommended as the "guaranteed" latest revision to revise and edit-save. It has been intended to still auto-merge with any non-adjacent lines, which other editors might continue to update, auto-combining the "best of both" the section re-edited plus any recent changes to other sections in the full-page text. Note a common type of full-page edit-conflict is the deletion (or "archiving") of the section above the final section, and that deleted section cannot be represented by another section-only preview (as: How is a deleted section represented, except by omission from the full-page text?). I guess this is the major point: when a section-only edit fails, then OFTEN the full-page structure has been altered by omitting, or adding sections, as perhaps most clearly shown by the full-page text. However, do not despair, because if more edit-conflicts were auto-corrected, then the size of the edit-conflict page would not matter as much (as being only rarely seen). Again, explanation: when a section-edit hits edit-conflict, then the problem is often deletion/addition (or renaming) of nearby sections, which are best shown by displaying the latest full-page text, with all current sections listed in consecutive sequence, for the proposed changes to be hand-merged into the new structure. -Wikid77 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
