Forum:Glitch removes all references and other tags

Twice in the last few days I have encountered a rather strange and quite damaging glitch on the Bleach Wiki (though thankfully easily fixed by simply undoing the previous edit). This glitch removes everything that is in < > tags, including all references, small text and comments. The first time this happened, it was an edit by a trusted user of the wiki, who had no idea what happened, but said that he was editing a page and encountered the edit conflict screen, then clicked back, cut the text he was adding, clicked forward again, added his bit and saved. Whether that had anything to do with what caused it or not I don't know, but those are the circumstances behind it and here is a link to the two instances of it I have encountered: [] and []. The other person has not yet replied about what happened, so I don't know if (s)he had similar experience or not. If it had not happened with trusted user first, I would have viewed it as vandalism, but the fact that it was a trusted user (together with his explanation) makes me think it is a glitch. In both cases, no other edit showed up, just the removal of the references etc. Has this happened to anyone else, and if so, does anyone know anything about it or can you confirm that it is indeed a glitch? -- Yyp  (Talk)  19:15, December 14, 2009 (UTC)


 * Ok, from the silence I take it that nobody else has come across this problem? It has happened a couple more times since I posted this. Here's some more examples: and here . In the second one, the edit was by the same trusted user mentioned above and did not happen under the same circumstances - it was a straight-forward undo of a previous edit (that had nothing to do with the references. Anyone? -- Yyp   (Talk)  20:49, January 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * I didn't encountered thoses problem but you can tell to your user that we dont need to go back and forth when there's an edit conflict; the text he was trying to submit is in the second edit box at bottom of the page. — TulipVorlax 13:18, January 3, 2010 (UTC)
