MediaWiki 1.31 w/ Vector skin and Extension:MobileFrontEnd installed. Viewing on Chrome (Android).

Can confirm VisualEditor works, even when I switch to Desktop view on the same Mobile browser.

But in Mobile View, when I click Edit, the page refreshes to Read.73.32.251.160 (talk)22:41, 1 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

I've noticed that when people edit articles with {{Infobox football club}} using visual editor, it seems to automatically remove the entry for the clubname parameter (see examples likethis,this orthis). Can this be resolved? Cheers,Number5713:15, 7 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

@Number 57: - it seems like VE creates 2 edit fields for "clubname", the first one being an erroneous empty duplicate (the second one is filled with the correct value). When saving the edited infobox with "Apply changes", I'd bet that Visual Editor takes the first empty value and skips the correct second value (on a sidenote: a second parameter "pattern_b1" is also displayed incorrectly in the infobox editing window). Just a few random observations from another user, but you'd need a real developer to look into this. See also the yellow info on top of the page (just to be safe, in case you missed it) - this page isn't formally "monitored" by WMF anymore.GermanJoe (talk)12:10, 8 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

The error can be reproduced with the following specs: Vector skin, Firefox ESR 52.9.0; Windows XP (I know, I should update eventually).GermanJoe (talk)09:29, 11 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

It seems to be fixed for that template. The problem was probably the extra spaces after each parameter in templatedata. VisualEditor likely tolerated that before, and for some reason it doesn't now. In any case, one can't really have a template parameter with trailing spaces (those get ignored by mediawiki).197.218.84.102 (talk)10:04, 11 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

When I edit an article that contains images the image gets wrapped with <figure-inline> and </figure-inline> tags. Is there any way to turn that off? Because I always have to remove that stuff with the Wiki source code editor.83.243.48.52 (talk)06:47, 10 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

I'm afraid I cannot send you a link to our wikis since they are all only internally reachable. So all you can do is try it out yourself.83.243.48.52 (talk)05:24, 11 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

I've found out something interesting. This error occured after the Update of MediaWiki 1.30! Before that, Visual Editor worked flawlessly. Is there any way to correct this mistake? Otherwise I will have to downgrade our wikis to Version 1.29.2.83.243.48.52 (talk)10:19, 20 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

I can't reproduce this. Feel free to edithttps://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Whatamidoing_(WMF)/Sandbox and let me know if you can get it to happen here.

The only bug report I can find that even mentions figure-inline ishttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T183356 That contains some debugging details, but I'm not sure that it has anything to do with your problem.Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk)18:23, 26 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

My copy of Mediawiki is having this problem as well. I recently updated VisualEditor to the 1.31 version alongside the rest of the wiki components and now I'm having the problem: Link:https://www.wikidoc.org/index.php/Lower_Limb108.20.211.165 (talk)14:51, 31 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

I was just informed that the fix is allegedly to update your Parsoid, if you update your VE and not your parsoid the tags get generated and aren't parsed correctly108.20.211.165 (talk)14:57, 31 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

<figure-inline> tags for inline images were introduced in a relatively recent version of Parsoid (September 2017); previously they were wrapped in<span> tags.

This issue sounds like something that might happen if you updated your VE (so that your new version of VE generates<figure-inline> and expects Parsoid to handle them), but not your Parsoid (so your old version of Parsoid doesn't know how to handle them yet and outputs them as-is to wikitext).

The solution is probably to upgrade your Parsoid, or if you can't do that (especially if you installed from a Debian/Ubuntu package, I think they are not updated very often), you'll have to downgrade your MediaWiki/VisualEditor :(
