--- Comment #1 from James Forrester <[email protected]> --- VE cannot determine whether the user's changes can be merged without attempting to dummy-save it via Parsoid into MediaWiki and finding out the result; this is a tens-of-seconds process, and difficult to see how "VE should smartly determine whether the conflicts can be automatically resolved". If they can be, it just saves. Could you boil this down into a simple ask (or two, or six, each in their own bug)? For example: "a) be forced to review changes and not allowed to save until they have reviewed and accepted the changes" This is way, way beyond what the wikitext editor does (non-conflicting changes just save). Why on Earth would you make VE users inspect a non-conflicting diff, but not for wikitext editors? "b) be able to 'accept' the new changes by other users (i.e. those lines shown initially show as lines to be removed); view a refreshed diff; and proceed to save, in which case the next view is of the saved & integrated changes." This is exactly what happens - if you have an edit conflict, VE informs you as such and takes you to the regular wikitext edit conflict page, where you have (a) your wikitext, (b) their wikitext, and (c) a diff between the two, and an opportunity to save it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
