en.wiktionary:
If you edit a section of a page and an edit conflict occurs, the bottom
textarea will only contain the section you edited.
It used to show the entire page in your textbox, and not just the section you
edited. With the way it is now, we've had it happen very often that users
inadvertently deleted the entire page like this.
Example of accidential delete due to this:
