So I finally got my watchlist useable again, except for when I use AFCH, it watchlists a bunch of rando's talk pages. Any way to not have it do that?

== Does AFCH script have a problem with edit conflicts? ==

I noticed in [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:Kris_Kidd&diff=next&oldid=796595420 this edit] that my comments edit clobbered some recent (2 to 5 minutes earlier) edits by the submitter. This doesn't seem right. Can the addition of comments or a review be made more atomic (or if not atomic, at least confined to a few seconds)? Or am I doing something wrong?

::Bear in mind the script takes the version of the page you last loaded as current. Example, you load the page wait 10 minutes and fire up the script, which is working on how the page was 10 minutes ago, if you spend 5 minutes writing your comment, that comment will be inserted on the version from 15 minutes ago. A workaround is too refresh the page before commenting (after reading it) and to spend a limited amount of time actually writing your comments. I hope this makes sense, I would test it further but I don't have access right now. &nbsp;---&nbsp;<font color=" #376D18">'''&Alpha;&nbsp;Guy&nbsp;Into&nbsp;Books'''&trade;</font>&nbsp;[[Special:Contributions/Aguyintobooks|&sect;]]&nbsp;([[User talk:Aguyintobooks|<font color="#000E5E">''Message''</font>]])&nbsp;-&nbsp; 13:39, 27 September 2017 (UTC)

:::A recent change I made to the script might stop this behavior, because I figured it was causing more confusion than it was worth. [[User:Enterprisey|Enterprisey]]&nbsp;([[User talk:Enterprisey|talk!]]) 03:02, 9 December 2017 (UTC)
