If you try to edit a page like Template:Editnoties/Page/MediaWiki:Common.css it incorrectly shows you the CodeEditor interface, and it tries to comprehend your input as CSS code, not as wikicode. It even prevents you from saving the page if your wikicode appears like invalid CSS code (which is often the case) with the error message " Missing selector list at line 1 character 1."
This happened to me on fawiki just now.
