Description This, that and the other (TTO) 2014-02-05 05:29:28 UTC 
Currently, attempting to use the API's action=edit to edit a Flow board (e.g. [[Wikipedia talk:Flow/Developer test page]]) results in a bizarre sequence of edits [1].

The edit goes through successfully, but is then immediately reverted with the edit summary "/* Taken over by Flow */". This revert is attributed to the user who made the initial edit (which seems inappropriate, since they did not actually invoke the revert).

Instead of this behaviour, the edit should be rejected by the API. That way, the client can handle the error in a meaningful way.
