on 3 different occasions i got problems because other people started editing/moving ... etc the page i was working on. I would like to see a 'beta-mode' (like beta software). Where only the autor and invited users (see: beta-tester) can edit the page. Basicly that could be archived on an administrative level but it would be helpful for any casual writer who writes a article and want some input from others without that people with good intention start in between. I see this as a way to improve collaborative writing comparable to develloping software. i am not aware that anything like this exists in wikipedia and i do not exspect to see it in the next version.
Try making a draft in your user space, with a notice at the top not to edit it. Then just move it when it's done.
