Sometimes entered tag information seems to get lost
From time to time, I am filling in some information for the Software Codidact tags and I realized that for some tags I filled the information twice. 

An example would be [winforms](https://software.codidact.com/categories/38/tags/5359) which I almost certainly edited a couple of weeks ago and today I found it without the description.

I added it again, but I am wondering if there is a cache issue here. Something like the following: the changes are not directly persisted, but in-memory cached which might get lost under certain circumstances.

Is there a way to check if such a scenario is plausible? It is not a serious issue, since it affects only several users with tag edit privilege, but I am very curious about what might be the cause.
