You canāt wait, if you get an error just cancel and start new. Leaving your edit open will overwrite someone when you save.

If it gives you an error or a warning you must CANCEL the edit.
If you donāt you will overwrite someone else edit. That messes things up, and the OP has to go through all the edits to see where something went wrong to correct it.
You canāt wait for it to go away either. You need to completely back out by canceling, and then wait a sec and try again.
Maybe the reason I was not understanding is I was doing this from my iPhone and on the computer it must look different? I will try and log in from my laptop to see if it looks different. My red pencils to edit show up in the top right corner not the bottom on my phone and the wiki edit shows on the Lower left at bottom after I add the next number and my name and tap edit then it appears. Could this possibly be the reason?
This is how I feel entering the pollen giveaway everyday @DougDawson
one of these days haha

You want to click the non red one.
And it is different on the computer, I know.

Maybe there should be more clarification in the instructions as I did not see that mentioned at all. Good to know that now. 
One edit is to see the wikis edit history, and the other is the one you want to add a number and your name to.

There are detailed instructions with pics somewhere. And after you do it once, youāll never think about it again

Also keep in mind that most of these giveaway wikis are open for a day or soā¦ there isnāt usually a huge rush to get signed up. If you see an overwrite warning, cancel your edit, wait a few minutes, then go back in to edit.

I was just noticing, I see a LOT of empty spaces, and I never noticed that before. Is that because people are just adding their favorite number or something like that? Thought it was sposed to go in order, sequentially. Looks kinda willy-nilly in more than one wiki. What is going on? New rules?
And if the wiki number generator chooses an spot?
Perhaps Iām just a huckleberry beneath a persimmon, and need to worry about real stuff.

Yes, some people put in their favorite number, making gaps in the signup. No rules against that though.
In 24 hours all gaps will be filled w names of people like me, who donāt care at all what number we get. .

Doug after further investigation I see that these illustrations show up differently from laptop and cell phones so now I see where I was going wrong I believe. Thank you and all that tried to help me. I believe I got it now.
