Description

Hi!
Just want to report that last weekend and until today we noticed that Visual Editor in Spanish Wikipedia was unable to save Categories after they were selected from the Menu on the Tools section of the Visual Editor.

I noticed that situation last Thursday November 17th and 19th during a couple of editathons in Mexico City. @Montgomery noted the same during another editathon the same 19th in Palencia, Spain.

Thanks,

You'll need to be more specific than 'unable', what happens instead of it saving the category?

Sorry for the delay.

When you open EV everything is normal editing
Using the button to Add Categories you add some of them, the query about existing categories function normally.
You choose categories and then Save and close the window
The categories does not appear in the saved article

I just tested and was able to add a category on the Spanish Wikipedia using VisualEditor.
