EditWarning

The EditWarning extension displays a warning if user edits a page/section which is currently being edited.

On pages which are being edited by many users simultaneously, edit conflicts can easily happen. This extension tries to avoid this problem by showing a warning message if the user edits a page that is being edited by other users at the same time.

Supported editing modes:

  • Source edititing
  • Editing via Page Forms
  • Editing via VisualEditor

This extension was inspired by https://github.com/nemphis/mw-editwarning/ which has not been maintained for a long time.

Installation

Download and place the file(s) in a directory called RegexFunctions in your extensions/ folder.

Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php:

 wfLoadExtension("EditWarning");

Run the "update.php" script from the base directory of your MediaWiki installation:

 php maintenance/update.php

Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

Known Issues

The extension can only recognize the cancel of page editing, if the user uses the "Cancel" button. Otherwise the edit warning will be shown until a timeout (default 10 minutes).

Configuration

Option Default Description
$wgEditWarning_ShowInfoBox false Displays a info box for the first editor.
$wgEditWarning_Timeout 10 Timout until a edit warning is removed automatically.
