# 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:

```php

 wfLoadExtension("EditWarning");

```

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

```shell

 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. |
