Yesterday I looked for an empty link to fill in and

[[Madura]], which appeared in [[Islands of Indonesia]]. I wrote a
short article, which appears, but today, looking for another island
to write about, I saw that the Madura link on the [[Islands of
Indonesia]] page still appears empty. I clicked on it and came to the
editing box, with my text there, instead of the page itself. Is this
some kind of bug)?
Yes, known buglet. The page itself hasn't been edited, so it reports
itself as unchanged when your browser asks if it needs to fetch a new
copy or if it can use a cached copy.
Hold down control and hit refresh, this should force a reload.
This should only strike users of Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher. Of
course, that's the vast majority of our users -- which is why caching
was enabled for them to reduce stress on the server from unintended
reloads. ;)
(A better system for invalidating caches by adding a 'last-touched'
timestamp field to the database has been proposed.)
