When using the Alternative Names prompt and entering some text, despite the article autosaving, the information isn't saved and the prompt is removed on page reload.

It is possible to edit the article using the old system and it will correctly save when entering information in the text box for Alternative Names.

Even when entering additional text in the main body it doesn't save correctly.

Steps to Reproduce

Select Alternative Names from the Prompt options.

Enter text and wait for the article to autosave.

Reload the page and the prompt and text is missing.
