2.3. Interface modifications

In order to make editing long pages easier, MediaWiki makes it possible to edit subsections of the page (according to its heading). A registered user can also mark that the edit is a minor one. Spelling, grammar and punctuation corrections are examples of minor edits, while the addition of paragraphs of new text is an example of larger edits. It can also happen that one user is editing while a second user saves his/her edits in the same section of the page. When the first user attempts to save his/her page, a conflict of versions arises. In this case, the second user has the opportunity to merge his/her content into the page that now exists after the page is saved by the first user.
