Edit war is a term that is used in Wiki pages. This term describes an occurrence where (A) two or more editors constantly change the same article due to conflicting opinions.

Editors are heavily discouraged to do this - disagreements are supposed to be resolved via discussions, not through a succession of editing the same wiki page.
