Wiki posting overlap

We've had numerous instances where the students were working on the Wiki during a meeting but several students were adding to the same page at the same time. This resulted in several arduously-written articles being lost (a calamity to some students!). There is an error message displayed when this occurs but it's not clear how to proceed, so the students get quite frustrated. Our News Team meetings can be very productive and motivated sessions, but we need to resolve this problem. Has anyone gotten around this?

  1. Two or more students can not be editing the same page at the same time like a Google Doc. :( You can have students on different pages editing at the same time, but not on the same page on two different computers. The last person to push save wins and the other information is deleted.
