Edit conflict when making redirect causes wrong page to be replaced
|
|
I just saw a page [[Ethymology]], which resulted from a misspelled link on
[[Science]]. I edited it, replaced it with a redirect to [[Etymology]], and
got an edit conflict on [[Ethymology]] in which the left side was the
redirect and the right side the original text. I then erased the original
text, pasted the redirect, and hit submit. This resulted in replacing
[[Etymology]] with a redirect to itself. Can anyone figure out how this
happened?
