# 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. |
