When editing Steven Universe S2E28 "Message Received", it was checked out, and I impatiently clicked edit over and over until it wasn't checked out any more & let me edit. Except, what I'm guessing happened is that the editor opened to the revision of the page source before the one made by the troper who had it checked out immediately before me, because when I added 3 examples and removed 1 example I thought was Square Peg Round Trope, checking the history afterward showed that I additionally undid a crapton of stuff that the troper who had it checked out before me added, which was not my intention at all, his/her stuff just didn't exist in the starting point of the page source it gave me to edit. I think there might be an obscure bug here that only rears its ugly head when you click edit the very instant someone else finishes. Maybe, I dunno how it works internally...

Incidentally, the other troper's name was Jayalaw. Sent me a somewhat indignant private message asking why I did that, I just said I didn't mean to and explained what I thought happened and the apology was seemingly accepted.
