Hello, I'm Firestar464. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Shilha language have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse. Thanks. Firestar464 (talk) 11:08, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
Hi Firestar464, thanks for your message. I'm trying to understand why my edit removed all 'ref' citations. This seems to be a bug in the wikitext editor. I'm using Firefox v86 on MacOS and I see that the editor strips out any HTML tags in the page. When I make the same change with Safari, this doesn't happen. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Shilha_language&action=history I made the intended revision using safari. Can you tell me who I should contact about this, as it seems like a bad bug that could cause inadvertent "vandalism" to many posts. thanks ! Gareth fr (talk) 14:52, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
