Description:
In markup, {{#time: <mask> | <large_integer> <unit>}} where <large_integer> is de magnitude of 1E12 , when using the Preview button, the server returns the error page saying
"Wikimedia Foundation - Error - Our servers are currently experiencing a technical problem ..." after 1 minute.
Example: {{#time:j F| +1000000000000 days}}
Expected result: immediate "Error: invalid time"
(No attempt to save the page was made for security reason.)
However, moderately large numbers, like 1E11 cause long delays, but successfully return "Error: invalid time" .
