Let's say we have the following versions of a page:

4. Current page

3. Previous, in history

2. Previous, in history

1. First version, in history

Now, someone can open the version 1, and modify it. There is a warning message, but if he confirms:

- the modified version 1 becomes the current page (OK, this is correct)

- versions 2 and 3 are apparently definitely deleted, which may be _very_ annoying.

 How is it possible to prevent this?

versions 2 and 3 are apparently definitely deleted

This is not true. They can be still found on the history page.
