Bug ID: 50716
Summary: Second sequential edit raises warning
Product: VisualEditor
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
Steps to reproduce
1. Edit page with VE and add {{fact}}, and save page with VE.
2. Wait until a bot adds parameters to {{fact}}
3. Click 'Edit', starting the VE.
(I suspect that step 2 is not a mandatory part of the process)
Result:
Red warning with text that can not be copied: "You are editing an old revision
of this page. If you save it, any changes since then will be lost."
The warning can be dismissed.
The 'Edit' button at the top of the page does nothing. Control-clicking 'Edit'
in Firefox does open VE in a new tab.
(There is no apparent option to get a current revision of the page)
Expected result 1:
As the user has not started editing yet, they should be offered the option of
starting editing again.
Expected result 2:
MediaWiki has edit conflict resolution, both manual (view diff and edit) and
automated. The VE warning should not "If you save it, any changes since then
will be lost." It should politely inform the user that they will need to merge
those "any changes" into the new revision before saving. And the VE should
give them a nice pretty interface to help them resolve the conflicts (and a
unicorn too).
