Over the past two weeks or so, a few editors have come into #wikipedia-en-help unable to save their edits using the Visual Editor due to an error contacting the Parsoid/RESTBase server. Those errors include:
- HTTP 404 on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Catherine_Jarry/sandbox
- HTTP 409 on an unknown new page
- HTTP 404 on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathers_Museum_of_World_Cultures
The last two editors were advised to copy the text from VE to a text editor, refresh the page, and try again. They did not report back on if it worked or not. No further information was available.
