I made a grammar fix (one word), and did not check the differences before saving. Mistake! :)

It looks like all it did was sanitize the templates, which isn't the worst thing on earth, but it's hard to verify that was all that happened (especially for a non-expert). 

No recommended fix, exactly, but perhaps something to consider.

Yeah, this is a quite bad problem to have. Thankfully, we believe that the majority of these issues have now been fixed (since that edit of yours) - so I'm going to mark this as fixed. There are no-doubt other issues we've yet to spot, but we've fixed this one. :-) Sorry for the inconvenience!
