Spamblacklist loses ongoing edit
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

Author: MacGyverMagic

Description:
In the past few months I've had several cases of Wikipedia edits I did being blocked by the spamblacklist because I inadvertedly included a blacklisted site in the edit. When I tried to follow the back to edit link provided or the back button on my browser the text I entered was gone which meant I had to enter it all over again.

I see how this might discourage spammers, but for established registered users this is a pain in the *.

I'd like to see an edit conflict interface instead if such a block occurs so the fault can be repaired without retyping the entire text.

This a duplicate of bug 17683.

This sounds like a browser bug. At least with Firefox 3.0.7 I do not have such a problem.

This is about SpamBlacklist, not AbuseFilter. I'm duping to 16757 which is a solution for this problem.
