Given the power levels of the powers in question, I suspect they were intended as Standard Actions from the start - just, at some point, several copy/paste errors were made. Resulting in a good portion of the article being unusable, combined with a few slightly easier to make mistakes. (The immediate reaction that will often trigger on your turn.)
I think the real reason for the harsh response is that this was just several simple typos that editing should have caught. And didn't, and was prominent enough to cast the whole article in question, and so they pulled it so they could really give it the once over.
Which, I mean, I'm fine with. They made some mistakes, and not too terrible ones, and immediately set out to resolve the issue. Assuming the final product removes the problems, all's well that ends well.
