I'm working with the new two-forms-per-portal userscript (@T89320, code). I used a button in my userspace to create a new idea GLAM_GHANA, which already exists.

@Jephpaul The same thing also seems to have happened here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Grants:IdeaLab/Test&diff=11386301&oldid=11055030
Note that in this situation, it was the FormWizard gadget that overwrote the existing content, not the userscript.
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Jeph_paul/formsGadgetWithUserLang.js, was still pointing to test.wikipedia.org to check for the titles after moving it to meta. Changed it to point to meta now. So it should work now.
I tested the deployed version on meta, it seems to work. I guess there's still a remote chance of the rewrite happening when the connectivity is patchy. I haven't fixed that yet.
@Jephpaul that's great! Thanks. I'll deploy the userscript tomorrow and test again. We'll keep an eye out for the edge-case bug.
this will live in the backlog for now until I'm able to repro. I know that it happens, I'm unsure what the circumstances are.
