Another one - the "Talk" links appear to have all gone missing from the topic pages, and, probably related, the Talk pages don't link back to their topic page. -- [[user:Marj Tiefert|Marj Tiefert]], Thursday, May 9, 2002

:One of the things that was done to speed up the wiki was to eliminate the (unusually slow) function that checks for alternate namespaces until it gets rewritten to be faster. Unfortunately, this has killed all the talk page links! A workaround that should be faster that the old version while preserving the talk links has been submitted.

Again with [[philately]]: When I linked to this from the "recent changes" page, I was aghast that the work that I had done was gone without explanation. I checked the history and the (diff)'s, but that showed that my input was all still there, and that apparently no human had touched it. From this I made a couple of minor edits (just to have something different) and saved it again. That was last night. Now again if I try to link from "recent changes" I still get an older version of the page. At this point I am beginning to wonder to what extent a link reliably gives the most recent version of a page. [[user:Eclecticology|Eclecticology]], Friday, May 10, 2002

:This morning I'd noticed a similar problem with the article on [[Maryland]], which I've worked on a lot; only it had apparently gone back many versions. While trying to restore my edits, however, I found the correct version suddenly appeared! -- BRG
