Обсуждение: Editing the wiki's whole Todo page doesn't work

I can edit sections of it well enough, but AFAIK you have to edit the
whole thing if you want to add a new section ... and when I do that,
"Save page" just waits forever.  (OK, I exaggerate, I gave up after
an hour.)

No, you can edit the section just above where you want to add the new
section, and add it there.  It will appear as a new section when you
save the page.

(The only problem with this is when you want to add a section before the
first section.  In this case you edit any section and manually change
the "§ion=NN" to "§ion=0" in the URL.)

Okay, I'll go do that, but there's still some serious scalability
problem in "Save page".  For comparison, "Show preview" and "Show
changes" on the whole Todo page take only a few seconds.

I know editing the entire TODO page used to work.  I actually did it
once.  I edited the page, copied the entire contents into the clipboard,
pasted it into a local editor, did search/replace, pasted it back into
the window, and saved it.

That certainly _should_ still work, and if it doesn't, we need to fix
it.

it seems to work just fine for me(takes around 15s) - not sure why it is 
not working for tom.

Hm, maybe it's browser-specific?  I was trying it with Safari.

Took about 10s to save on Safari 3.2.3 for me.
