Update: Root cause is tracked down, we think it's fixed (confirmation of that at a later point, currently isolated so it won't do any harm until then) and we've liberated as much data as we can from the void.

Apparently the content still exists in DB because MW considered my edit to MediaWiki:Recentchanges-helppage null edit when I added exactly the same content it used to have. Now the content is shown on the page, but still not in the edit window. (and the message doesn't change the help link while it should)

Backups can be used to restore lost data, not just revert. Revs should not be disappearing from the database. Nor should the problem be getting worse with time.

So even the current revision of the article does not exist, although the article itself still does.

Is it time to lock the database yet? When was the last backup?

This seems to only affect certain pages, specifically those edited between July and last week, as I was able to edit my user page and a template today.

Merged these in because they're all the same underlying cause which is some sort of botched revision (MediaWiki internals "recently" had a huge overhaul) which is causing it to freak itself out a little. We highly suspect the culprit is CreateWiki, however, at this time a cause and fix is proving difficult to pin down.
