git log compared to "Recent Changes" showed that there were 4 revisions that hadn't been applied.
That may explain why the displayed version of the page didn't change but the preview did change and when I logged out and back in all of my previous edits showed back up in the page source.
did you get at any point a failure of the "page updated" thing or at any point interrupt the cgi script whilst it was rebuilding the page? ikiwiki works by generating static HTML using cgi-bin perl scripts that pull markdown (etc.) out of the git repository. it can be... a little fragile.
I got an error message that said there had been a failure of the CGI script--I don't remember the exact wording. If I did interrupt something I'm not sure how I accomplished that as I was trying to be patient and wait till it was done before initiating anything new.
