Steps to replicate the issue
- On frwiki Special:Homepage select Amérique du Nord as a topic filter and Add link (Ajouter des liens entre articles Suggestions automatiséesas) as a task type
- the SE counter will display 1 of 780 (as in the animated gif below, but the total count can be of a different value at the time when the steps would be reproduced)
- Start navigating the SE articles (clicking on the right arrow button)
What happens?:
- When clicking on the right arrow, the counter will display correct count first, e.g. 2 of 780, 3 of 780
- At some point, the total count will change dramatically to a smaller number. As in the gif below, after 11th suggestion the total count changes to 25.
Another example (the gif file) (from @KStoller-WMF):
Note:
- refreshing the page will restore the initial correct total count
