I ran into a certaint technical issue. Some wiki pages seem to be malfunctioning and I don't know whether it's the fault of wiki or my device.

The thing is I can't open folders on these pages, or the menus with edit options and also cannot pin them to my follow list. Only direct links to other pages work.

The pages in question are:

Half-Life

Half-Life 2

Braceface

I have no idea what the problem is since all other pages work fine.

Ok, lookslike it's my device's fault.

Might be a cache thing. Idk.

I've noticed the folders on pages with videos seem to be bugged on some browsers.

I couldn't open any folders on Baths Are Fun on my iPad yesterday night. I think it's a mobile thing.

I've been looking at which pages haven't let me open folders over the past few days. The issue seems to be happening on pages with two or more videos.

Having done a little experimentation, I can confirm that pages with two or more videos are having issues with various things (ads, profile picture button, spoilers, ect.) in the IOS Safari browser.

There was also a bug query that opened about a week ago, but it hasn't drawn in much attention.

Not having that issue on my iOS Safari (whatever the latest update as of writing is). I do have an ad free pass though.

Bumping this up to say that the bug report thread has still gone unadressed, and that the bug is still an issue.

I have encountered no issues with any such pages during my browsing on phone or PC.

[up][up][up]GoldenCityBird is right. Indeed it's pages with 2+ videos that keep acting up on mobile devices.

Is there a problem with the cache or what?

The admins have attempted to reproduce the problem with their own mobile devices from Apple, but don't experience the same problems on the articles pointed out. There's some missing context preventing them from duplicating the effect.

Ummmm, I think there may be a bug on the TLP pages.

So, I submitted this draft[1] on the TLP pages, and a person (who I won't name out of respect) left a few suggestions in the reply section. I added most of them in, thanked them in their Private messages, and continued. Later, I got a reply from them saying I removed most of their work on the draft.

I only saw my edits on the draft and I added most of what they suggested to the draft (among other things after that). I wasn't sure if they edited the pages, but if they did, I somehow ended up unknowingly reverting it (I'm feeling kinda shitty right now over the thought I might've done this, even if it was an accident).

So, any advice on this?

Did you check the Draft History?

Also, if they'd edited your draft and got edit stomped, you're not the one at fault. Editing other peoples drafts like that is against the rules.

I went in the draft history and I noticed that somebody else edited the draft at one point, but it's a different person from the other guy I mentioned earlier and I didn't see the latter's name on the draft history. Either way, I'm still giving them the benefit of the doubt, since they meant well (plus might've forgotten or didn't know about the not-editing-other-people's-draft-rule). Maybe they misremembered something?

Also, is there a feature in TLP that keeps other people's edits on your draft if you gave them permission beforehand (I recall in the TLP rules that it's okay to edit someone else's draft if you have gotten permission from them)

I don't think there was such a feature. It is generally impolite to end someone's draft without asking, indeed. See TLP Guidelines.

Alrighty, I now understand that there's no feature like that and I already read the TLP guidelines before I submitted the draft but I read it again just to be better prepared I suppose.
