In https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lynn_Hill&oldid=528045441 (and other versions), go into VE, go to the bottom, delete the list item (and so the list) from the External links section. ve.instances[0].documentModel.data confirms that the model has this removed - "/heading" object followed by the alienated table from the "{{Authority control}}" template - but on diff Parsoid thinks that there is no change in this area. Is this is a Parsoid, or is change marking broken (or both)?
This is probably a selser (Parsoid) issue. There is no change marking for removals, selser detects these based on DSR discontinuities. Provisionally CCing Mark, once I get time to investigate this properly and figure out what's going on, I'll move/reassign this bug as appropriate.
I believe this ties in directly to what Gabriel is doing, so I'll add him and we can have a big bugzilla CCing party.
Likely fixed by the DOM diffing functionality that landed in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/41816/. Barring bugs, we now no longer depend on change markers for selective serialization to work.
(Needs verification with VE)
A few more selser fixes later this should now be fixed. Repeating the test case above certainly suggests it works, so please reopen if there still are issues.
