Description

This is a problem with the wiki modue. When a wiki is created with TYPE = GROUP and GROUP MODE = VISIBLE GROUPS, each group should be able to edit their own wiki and view but not edit other groups' wiki. Although the wiki of each group should be separate, when one group is editing a page in their wiki, other groups may not edit a page in their wiki if it has the same name. For example the initial page in each group's wiki has the same name; therefore only one one group can edit their initial page at a time. Also in my case each group made a 'introduction' page; only one group could edit their 'introduction' page at a time; when the group had a distinctly named page there was no problem.

In the forums this bug seems to have been observed when each student has their own wiki as well.

This may be linked to MDL-8494. Although this is priority minor; it renders the wiki useless for my purposes. Thank you for your attention.
