    The Lorebook borked big time

    So I was adding pages not in categories to categories and the Lorebooked borked big time when I went to add this page to a category.

    http://lorebook.lotro.com/wiki/Witch-King_of_Angmar

    I tried several times to fix what the Lorebook did but from the looks of it despite the fact I didn't touch the content within the <noedit> tags the lorebook removed the content. At least that is the way it is appearing to me. I even attempted to revert to version of the page before I edited to add the category and the Lorebook is still making it out as if the page is being blanked despite the fact that all of the content within the <noedit> tags is there in the text box to be saved to the page. I'm no noob to editing wiki. I've been doing it for years. I got to say this is the 1st time i have ever had a wiki treat it as if I cleared the page for adding a line for category placement. Or clear a page for any for of editing at all for that matter.

    Yes, there is a known issue when editing pages with noedit tags. Won't bore with all the details of the issue, but a fix for this should have been rolled out with the last update.

    I've restored the page to its original state but have left out the category tag you were trying to add. If you add the tag again, can you cut/paste the entire contents of the edit box including any/all whitespace and post it here like this:

    <noedit>
    Can't touch this!
    <noedit>
    [[Category:Touch me not]]
    >
    >

    Note the brackets to help ID where blank lines are appearing in the edit field; I'll try to reproduce it and see if we can squish this bug for good.

    Thanks for restoring the page. Basically I was just going through all the pages that were not categorized and providing them with categories. Before i attempt editing it again perhaps this is a good time to ask what category it should be in. I believe I was trying to add it to the alphabetical category W for lore just so that it had a category and wasn't floating out there in the deep recesses of the lorebook.
