I think this is a cache problem (action=purge helps -> cache problem). I think we have to wait for bug 72856 to be resolved.

This the report about the problem in general, bug 72856 is the report about the same problem on it.wiki only.

I'm confused what is the bug here? Isn't this the correct behaviour or are you saying the purge action wasn't doing that? Anonymous editing changes the HTML markup so it will need a cache purge.

Anonymous editing changes the
HTML markup

So that's the bug (from my point of view).

Nothing actionable here. Sometimes HTML changes are needed. Usually when we make HTML changes we are careful to add JavaScript to get round caching problems. Since problem is solved for it.wiki there is no bug here. (FYI if you want to do this on any other wikis in future please let me know - we could have completely avoided the cache flush on it wiki with some Common.js).
