Greg Stein commented on WHIMSY-398:
-----------------------------------
[unrelated to Whimsy:] The top of members.txt said to not touch "Forms of
File", and I just added a comment to avoid "AvailID". Of course, only somebody
seeing the whole file will see those instructions.
> Editing my Whimsy members.txt messed up my data

> Key: WHIMSY-398
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIMSY-398
> Project: Whimsy
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Roster
> Environment: Firefox 107.0 on Fedora
> Reporter: Ken Coar
> Priority: Major
>
> I just used [https://whimsy.apache.org/roster/committer/coar] to edit my
> '{{{}Members.txt{}}}' entry, and now it appears to be gone. As does my
> 'forms on file' and 'member status' fields, possibly among others.
> I _did_ remove some of the textual information that appeared to be duplicated
> in the other fields on the page (like PMC membership, '{{{}Avail ID{}}}',
> {_}&c.{_}), but AFAIK i didn't delete the entire {{Members.txt}} form field
> *content* before clicking on submit.
> So, hopefully, there's a way to roll this back. The
> {{/committers/{_}user{_}}} form appears to be an update-in-place, so I can't
> use my browser's Back button to move to a version prior to the edit.
> If some of the information that populates the other fields on the form has
> its authoritative version in the {{members.txt}} entry, it came as a surprise
> to me..!
