* ''How do I resolve a dispute between edits?''
::*First, contact the editor who made the edits, and/or raise a Talk page. On the top left, there is a "Discussion" tab, where you can address these concerns.
Line 58:
::*If the dispute is not resolved, contact an administrator or bureaucrat on the wiki or discord.
* ''Why is a page blocked?''
::We block pages about contentious current events, or highly contested pages, to prevent spam or edit wars occasionally. Generally, most of these are under temporary ban; contact an administrator on the CivWiki for more information about a certain page.
* ''What happens when two users edit a page at the same time?''
::This is called an edit conflict. You'll get a conflict screen that displays both versions in separate windows, along with a summary highlighting the differences, and instructions on how you should proceed. It's virtually impossible to lose any data.
* ''Why was the edit/page I made removed?''
::There are a variety of reasons (some [[w:Wikipedia:Avoid common mistakes|common reasons]]). The first thing you should do is look at the history page for the article you edited. This will tell you who changed it, when they changed it, and hopefully a short reason why they changed it. If it says something like see talk, then you should look at the talk page for the article. Also, you should look at your own talk page to see if you have a message there. If you don't find a reason that is satisfactory, politely ask in the article's talk page about your proposed change, and maybe you will get suggestions about changes that you can make so that your change will go in, or you may get reasons why your change should not happen.
