This looks like the same issue as T315383, where RESTBase was never configured for the wiki. I don't see it listed here: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/g/mediawiki/services/restbase/deploy/+/79b3cd20622fd271e8b1dbdf86ad7287559cce7c/scap/vars.yaml#830
Since it's a public wiki, we have two options: either configure RESTBase, or switch the wiki to the mode that doesn't require it (like we did in T315383). Since RESTBase is in the process of being deprecated, and there's not much difference between the two modes for a small wiki, I'm leaning towards the latter. (CC @MSantos and @cscott for advice.) If this seems okay to you, I'll do the config change next week.
Also, we should check the list carefully to see if there are any other wikis in this situation…

There are four such wikis in total. I compared the lists using the following script: F35535373
Output:
RESTBase configured: 826 wikis
RESTBase in use: 818 wikis
RESTBase configured but not in use:

I can't edit the wiki, but I tested by visiting https://romd.wikimedia.org/wiki/Pagina_principală?veaction=edit. Before the changes, I got an error message "Revision IDs returned by the server do not match (document: undefined, metadata: 78).". After the changes, I got the visual editor in read-only mode.
