This problem was previously discussed in the mailing list here:
#autoedit produced this diff in SF 2.4.2:
This is the code used to do that:
{{#autoedit: form=Sighting
target=CCS13651 |
link text=<span style="color:#0645AD;">Verify this page</span> |
query string=Sighting[Verified by]=[[User:Badon|Badon]] 23:24, 4 July 2012 (UTC) |
reload |
}}
It should only have added the "Verified by" field, but it also removed the "Location" field data too. This kind of damage to data makes the #autoedit feature unsafe to use, so I marked this bug as "critical".
