Unable to Apply Changes using Visual Editor for one template
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

I have a very strange issue. When using the Visual Editor to edit one specific template on my wiki, after making edits and hitting "Apply Changes" the editor just loads forever, never saving. It seems to only happen with this template: https://obeymewiki.com/wiki/Template:Card

This is also a new issue, having only started a few days ago despite the template being used frequently for a long time now. Other templates used on the same page as this template also have no issues and work the same as always. Using the Source editor to edit this template also has no issues.

Might just be the cache?

I forgot to mention this before, but this is something being experienced by multiple uses on my wiki, with various browsers uses and both on PC and mobile.

And it is still happening for all of them with just this one template, which is a problem because it's a template used on a large number of wiki pages.

Using visual editor in the Template: namespace?
You shouldn't be using the visual editor in the template namespace.

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying, but I don't mean that users are visiting a template page and trying to edit it. The Card template is used on a number of pages with card info on my wiki, and it is when attempting to edit any of these said card pages - by way of filling in template fields - that the perpetual loading issue is happening when users try to save their edits.

Closing this as the template no longer exists. In the future, please check the Special:LintErrors page for this kind of issues.
