I made an edit using what I considered to be acceptable sources and I got a warning that I needed to remove one of the sources before I could save my edit. I didn't use preview because I wanted to see the sources (I know, add {{reflist}} and maybe one day I'll figure that out and even remember to remove it). But when I went back to remove the offending link, EVERYTHING I had typed was gone. I had to do a couple of searches to find and redo every one of those references. Ironically, the offending link contained information that several reputable-looking sources had, and I didn't have to use that one, but this particular offending link LOOKED respectable to me.
Confirm this happens to me, using Firefox, and is very irritating to lose my work! Please put an edit box on the spam filter page with the text, and give editors a chance to remove the link without losing the entire edit.
This doesnt look like an abuse filter bug. I assume it was the [[MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist]] Did you see this message: [[MediaWiki:Spamprotectiontext]]?
Isn't this a duplicate of Bug 9416?
