I noticed the pre-save transform affects the entire page, not just the section you are editing. If through some trickery or foresight you create a page like this: > ==Section 1== > {{subst:template which doesn't exist yet}} > {{subst:#some future parser-func:foo|bar}} > > ==Section 2== > Lorem ipsum A subsequent edit to Section 2 may cause unexpected changes to the wiki-text of Section 1 if and when the requested subst-items exist. Seems like the least astonishing behavior would be to prevent this.
When you're editing a section, you're really editing the whole page. There's no difference between it and opening the full page to only edit a section. While the behavior isn't necessarily intuitive, it is expected. Not sure of any clean way to really change this...WONTFIX?

I realize they're all part of the same page, but I still think section-edits should provide a basic guarantee not to change any text which is not part of the edit form. > While the behavior isn't necessarily intuitive, it is > expected. I'd go further and say it is never intuitive.
