Trying to save an edit triggers "error: the edit has not been saved" without further information
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

I have the page m.mediawiki.org/wiki/Phabricator/Help
I click the pencil, to edit the page.
I get the Web mobile wikicode editor.
I edit the wikicode…
I try to save my edit.

Expected result:
My edit gets saved. If someone else has edited the page, then my edit is saved if we have been editing different parts. If an edit conflict needs to be resolved by me, then the site tells me about it and asks me to resolve it.

Actual result:
The site gives me an error: the edit has not been saved. And that's it. No explanation. But the site allows me to try again. So I try again... I write the edit summary... I always get the same error. It is impossible to save my edit. I don't know why. So I abandon my edit.

This is not very user-friendly.

This bug may be caused by someone else having edited the page.

It would be nice to fix this bug. :-)

Thank you.
