I was just editing an article, did a significant amount of work on it, then
pressed save, and was given an "edit conflict" message. that was it.

I think found out that my colleague Karl had already got the page into edit
mode, and was fixing the same problems I was looking at ;-)

We need a better way to handle this. For a start, we ought to disallow other
people from starting to edit when there is someone else already editing that
article.

Second, how do we allow people to make sure work is saved when a conflict
occurs that could cause work loss?
