In the Web mobile wikicode editor, the preview sometimes fails
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

I am editing Wikipedia, with the Web mobile wikicode editor.
I try to save the edit.

Expected result: I get the preview; I can save my edit.

Observed result: I get an error saying that the preview failed; I can save my edit.

Usually, I get the expected result.

Sometimes, the observed result occurs.

It would be nice to correct this bug.

Thank you.

I had mobile Safari, on iPad or iPhone.

I did not see any of that.
