Description
There's mention of the potential for lost updates on the Wiki RPC Interface page but the plugin doesn't deal with the problem.
What would be great was if wiki.WikiRPC.putPage() did a check on the page using the 'version' attribute and failed the update if it existed and didn't match page.version.

Leaving this ticket to deal with wiki-side only. #5402 requests the same for tickets.
Should solve it by checking for 'version' in attributes when updating existing pages, and then failing if change is not based on most recent version.
In time, all updates should require version. This is also a frequent request mentioned in the WIKI-RPC spec.
I'll update by allowing it to pass for now (but log a warning), and update docs to recommend against such use - before deprecating use without version in some upcoming version (like 1.1).
Similar for ticket updates to prevent stale information overwriting newer property settings.
