I just ran across something odd when changing issue https://www.comics.org/issue/16894/ -- a keyword vanished between its last change in 2020 and now. I've discarded my changes for now, so that someone can look at it, if they like.

To see the change, edit the record (perhaps the version on beta: https://beta.comics.org/issue/16894/ ), then immediately click "Compare Changes". You'll get three differences: two conversions of curly to straight single tick, plus this in sequence 2:

I assume that "stampede" is gone because that exact keyword does not currently exist in the taggit_tag table. There have been no changes to sequence 2 since that keyword was added in 2020 (https://www.comics.org/changeset/5347629/compare/?collapse=1 ). I assume, then, that its taggit_tag (and/or taggit_taggeditem) went away somehow. Does this happen often?

(I'm also intrigued by how, if "stampede" is not in the database, the diff was able to know it existed.)

More likely is that stampede never made it into the database. Changesets
handle keywords as a text field, only on commit these become tags.

Just add it back, and double check if it is still there after approval.

Sometimes there are hickups.
