IABot removes link while fixing another
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Here the bot failed to recognize that the ref-tags contained two separate links, one of which was a correctly inserted webarchive template. This should not happen!

Event Timeline

This is slightly different and due to two links to the same resource in different formats.

All cases reported so far could be fixed by not allowing IABot to make an edit with negative byte difference.

Yet another case. Interestingly, in its first edit in the article, the bot had no problem distinguishing the two links.

Yet another example.

If this hasn't been fixed, one possible solution could be to verify that the number of URLs prior to and after changing the reference content is consistent.

I'll see to getting this fixed in beta10.
