Especially for sites with active users and many wikis there is a need to make sure that your edits won't be lost, especially with the dreaded "this content has been edited by another user" message when attempting to save your edits. Perhaps a module like http://drupal.org/project/content_lock would be a good start.

This still isn't in drupal commons 3.x, or core 7.x.. Not sure if we need it though, except for maybe wikis?

This is definitely needed for wiki's as collaborative documents -- please place on commons 3.6 radar.
Thanks for digging up this issue! I'll install module and do some tests this week.

Tested module for use with commons wiki (7.x-3.x-dev Dec 14): Content locking (anti-concurrent editing)

Locking of wiki to stop concurrent editing worked well, notifying messages work but users thought wording a bit unclear.
