Description

I'm using staging and approving wiki pages and recognized, that the page description disappears under some conditions. I tried to find out this "some conditions" and hope to give sufficient informations:

  • First a user or admin creates a new (wiki) page with description.

  • The page is saved as staging page with the description.

  • If the page is edited before approval (by user or admin), the description remains in the field.

  • If the page is approved by an approver (= user with permission), the description remains in the field, too.

  • If the page is approved by admin, the description is away.

  • If the approved page with a description (equal, if approved by an approver or by admin with rewriting of the description) is reopened for edit, the page description field is blank.


With "page description disappears" I mean, that

a) the description is not saved when approving the page by admin and

b) the description field prior filled with a description is then blank, when the page is opened for editing (after approval).
