The edit-conflict resolver doesn't care whether you're editing the
page or a section. If the two edits are to different lines, they're
merged; if they're to the same line, they conflict. (There may be
some more details that I don't know of, but that's the gist of it.)
Let me be the first to say that, psychologically, it doesn't feel that
way at *all*. And based on other people's comments, I'm not the only
one who doesn't get that.
Edit conflicts occur most frequently on busy RFAs or
talk pages
because everyone's editing the same line, namely the one below where
the last guy left his comment.
Sure; but that wasn't the situation I was trying to fix.
