When I make a change to a page, everything is saved correctly, however on page reload the previous revision is rendered, not the changes I just made.
Additionally, if I click on edit to edit the revision, it only lets me edit the text from the older revision.
Here is a screenshot:
Edit: Low and behold! I can't create new pages on the feedback site without having to edit it afterwards due to this bug! To explain in more detail, when I created this bug report, it went to say "The bug:699 page does not exist …" but when I clicked "create page" it came up with the bug report I already filled out!
This was happening a while ago, and was subsequently fixed. There might be a bug report for it lying around somewhere.
At the moment I'm not experiencing that problem, but it may be that it was only temporary.

There was a long page recompilation queue at night:
Friday(8:00 PM)—>Saturday(10:00 AM) UTC.
We have grabbed some data (long database queries, duplicate queue items) we are analyzing it and preparing a fix.
However everything works fine now.

This is happening for me right now.

Looks like the "cloud" with "distributed" stored data is complicating something ?

Do you have any current examples ??
Helmuti_pdorf: Cloud gave us new possibilities but also brings a lot of new issues. While moving to Amazon we rewrites a few pieces of code to take advantage from new features and environment.

It sounds like the mass page recompilation coincided with these errors.
I haven't experienced them since, so I'm guessing it fixed itself when recompilation was finished.
No current examples. It was occurring on a site that I was editing at the time, but seemed to resolve itself within 10 minutes and I didn't encounter the problem again.

Closing for now. It happend in the past, probably occurs due to database locks - not sure. Nowadays locks are eliminated automatically within 2-4 minutes.

Had it occur again last night, on a page in a private category that only I would have been editing.
If it happens again, I'll provide the page URL, and time of the incident. Any other details that would be useful?

Closing it is fine if the problem is rectified.
But wouldn't it be better to close it as "completed" rather than "rejected"?
It's just that "rejecting" this bug report implies that there wasn't a problem in the first place (user error), whereas "completed" implies it's fixed and is no longer an issue.
Also, as it happened again to leiger last night, maybe we should keep it open for investigation after all?
Hasn't happened to me again since then, so it's intermittent.

I'm not sure if this is related but I've had a couple of instances this week where the page has appeared to save normally but when editing the page again the code is still the same as before. But it is intermittent which makes it very difficult to track down why it happens.

I'm going to reopen this bug.
The fact that over a few guru users are experiencing the same problem, combined with my photographic proof above, indicates that the issue is not user-related and very much existent (it can't be swept under the rug).
As I mentioned in my post above, it shouldn't have been rejected in the first place.
I'm not sweeping it under the rug, and never suggested that it's user-related. The problem exists but it's not reproducible, it happens when something randomly fails.
We are preparing a script that may help us to find a cause of this issue.
More info tomorrow. O, and it was 'rejected' not 'done' as we do not change any single line of wikidot code to fix anything related to this issue.

I'm sorry. I had a misunderstanding.
As I understood it, a rejected bug meant "closed and final decision".
But as you've explained, you can't say a bug is completed if you haven't changed any code to do with it.
Once again, I'm sorry for my misunderstanding.
I'm glad to hear you're preparing a detective script though!
We believe the reason is faulty cache. We are investigating this issue right now.

We have already tweaked the caching mechanism. If you find a page that is not displaying an up-to-date version and you can share it with us, please post the URL.

I just had this happen, with a page refusing to display a new edit. I don't have anything to show you because I had it happen a few times before and discovered that changing the tags fixed the issue. I.E. adding a tag, or just opening tags and closing them. Don't ask me why.
