I made a bunch of edits to a wiki page at work. When I came home, I noticed I had that page open for edit, but there was no indication that it had been edited.

When a user opens a wiki page for edit, that is currently being edited by another user, both users should be informed of that fact.

Yes, I consider this also important. We're running a mediawiki installation in-house which has a similar thing (only a global notification, afaik). – Markus Sep 11 2010 at 7:41
the side by side compare display you see when trying to save conflicting edits is only good for small changes. Since it's not a full-on merge tool, when two people have spent a lot of time editing it's not useful. So, I agree, an edit conflict notification is a VERY good feature (plus, of course, a full-on merge tool) – PJM Feb 2 at 15:45

Thanks for this request, Greg. It's a good idea. It's probably not in the schedule for the upcoming 8.0 release, but we'll be considering it.

I see that someone posted a bugmonkey customization to do this for cases (http://fogbugz.stackexchange.com/questions/7973/notify-me-when-a-case-is-updated-while-im-viewing-it) I wonder if the same approach would work for wiki articles?
