en.wiktionary: If you edit a section of a page and an edit conflict occurs, the bottom textarea will only contain the section you edited. It used to show the entire page in your textbox, and not just the section you edited. With the way it is now, we've had it happen very often that users inadvertently deleted the entire page like this. Example of accidential delete due to this: https://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=Wiktionary:Requests_for_deletion&diff=18610741&oldid=18610739 Problem forwarded from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_%28technical%29#Problem_with_edit_conflicts https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Village_pump#Edit_conflict_issues
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/29552/
Appears this is happening not just with edit conflicts, so need to poke at the code some more to make sure this is completely fixed. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Village_pump#Edit_conflict_issues

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/29552/ Fix is in master, Reedy is backporting for 1.21wmf2
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/29690/ is now also merged; closing as fixed. Thanks, Aude.
The bug is still occurring very commonly on enwiki. See <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:VPT#Apparent_bug_causing_massive_text_loss_when_saving>
