Not to be confused with Wikipedia:Edit warring.

This template is used to indicate that an edit conflict was encountered when replying to a comment in a discussion (on a talk page for example). This may help to indicate that one is replying to an older state of a discussion and may not take more recent replies into account.

Usage

• Adding {{edit conflict}} produces: (edit conflict)

The number of conflicts you encountered may also be specified as an unnamed parameter to the template.

• For example, {{edit conflict|3}} produces: (edit conflict × 3)

Substitution

This template also may be substituted:

• {{subst:edit conflict}}

Redirects
