Forum:Protocol in Collaborative Editing

What's the protocol for when you are editing something someone else has written (or they're editing something you've written)?

I realize that this is all what Wiki is about, but if I spent a chunk of time inputting a lot of data, then come back the next day and it's gone, replaced by something else, It sure would be great to understand a) why, and b) where'd all my work go? I'm fine if it's not in the right place and it's gotten moved, but I'd like to know where it got moved to. I didn't see anything in the discussion area of the page, and I could not see it reflected in the history page, either.

Still new and trying to figure all this out. Thanks.
