Some wiki platforms offer a nice soft-locking feature, where users are warned if
any other user has started editing the page/section they have just begun to edit
within the last [few minutes].
For instance, Moinmoin has messages of the form: "Other users will be warned
until 2005-02-11 07:11:45 that you are editing this page. Use the Preview button
to extend the locking period."
This would be moughty helpful, and would save the use of ugly {{inuse}} templates.
