When creating a new article in the current editor, if you type into the title field quickly, it will often reset the field partway through typing, or even after finishing typing.

 

This image shows some articles I batched out for responses to the Gold prompts of Summer Camp 2026, with articles not starting in a capital letter having been effected by this glitch:

  • "ith" is "Faith"
  • "en Brandy" is "Dwarven Brandy"
  • "eritance SSC" is "Inheritance SSC"
  • "emental Magic" is "Elemental Magic
  • Note also that Nobility reset in its entirety, so I had to retype it to create the article.

    Steps to Reproduce

  • Click the green "Create new article" button and select a template
  • Immediately start typing in your title
  • Observe as the text you type disappears a couple of seconds afterwards, entirely unpredictably.
  • Operating System

    Linux

    Browser

    Firefox

    Currently the time is set to around 600ms of wait, indeed if your fingers are made of fire and brimstone like an amazing dragon you can be faster than the system - I am sorry about that, it is a fine balance we have to keep, we will discuss this with Ioanna, not like a bug but a way to make the experience better.

    Once again thank you for the report.
