This should be resolved everywhere now. Sorry about that…

The bug was caused by a maintenance release of the OOUI library, and one of the changes exposed a hidden bug in our code – we were displaying those two fields in the two dialogs into the page in an incorrect way, and it broke now even though it has been previously working fine since 2018 (f422ae2dcc0dc9c698cf37e90733ef25fbab9586).
