: Yes, there is a user named [[User:Contribution|Contribution]]. It may be confusing sometimes but I think there is nothing to fix. --[[User:Xenwolf|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf|talk]]) 08:53, 27 November 2020 (UTC)

=== Posting on the same page in parallel ===
I noticed that when I post on some page, and another participant is doing the same on the same page in parallel, sometimes I lose my new fragment of text. I assumed that I simply don't follow some correct order of operation. Any advice? — thank you! — [[User:SAKryukov|SA]], ''Wednesday 2020 December 9, 05:38 UTC''
: Well, edit conflicts sometimes happen, especially when the other person doesn't know about what you're doing.  It's not your fault, at least to my knowledge.  Xenwolf may know more, but in some respects, I doubt he'd say something much different that what I'm saying here.  The only other thing he'd probably say is something to the effect that rapid chats are better kept to platforms like Discord and Facebook and Reddit.  Unfortunately, as I've mentioned to him, I don't have Facebook and many of the microtonalists that I'm aware of do.  Hopefully once we expand to Discord, this problem will be at least partially taken care of. --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 05:44, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
: I should have also mentioned that Xenwolf has also suggested that to me that I type out what I want to say on a separate document and correct it there before I post here in the User Talk pages, but I have to admit I'd sooner see more chats on Discord.  If Xenwolf has anything to add to this, especially if it's stuff I don't know about or have forgotten about, then he should respond to us himself, but since I'm not an admin, I wouldn't know. --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 05:54, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
:: Yes, a separate document. It's worse than I thought, as I assumed I've done something inaccurately, but you say it's not the reason. Yes, a separate document is what I actually do, but I thought there is a really correct way. In the Wiki systems I worked with, such conflicts are well resolved. — [[User:SAKryukov|SA]], ''Wednesday 2020 December 9, 06:10 UTC''
::: It is?  Well, chances are it's just a matter of poor timing then.  I do know that when I've been on the receiving end of edit conflicts where I lose my text there is a procedure to make sure your text gets in- look to see what you typed as opposed to what the other person typed, and then see if you can insert your text into the edit window in the correct spot without deleting the other person's text.  If there are any more details that need to be resolved, or elements of the procedure that need a better explanation, Xenwolf should know about them. --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 06:13, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
Sorry for the confusion Wolf, could you perhaps walk SA through the procedure of how to deal with those edit conflicts in which it's your own comments that get lost?  I now think that advice for that particular scenario is what SA was asking for initially, but I misunderstood him as asking about why it is that some edit conflicts happen and why they eliminate one person's comments at one time and the other person's comments at another time. --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 07:06, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
