Description:
mashup of screenshots showing error encountered when trying to edit cities section in article "Ecuador"

When I login as "charliearcuri" and click one of the two edit links in the section "Largest cities of Ecuador" of the article "Ecuador", I get a blank edit control and some wording that talks about a template having been deleted. I expected to see some text that would allow me to fix the caption of the image currently captioned "Portoviejo".

see attached mashup of screenshots

This is not actually a mediawiki bug.

Someone on Wikipedia manually made the edit link by hand, and its pointing to the wrong place. I tried to fix in this edit http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ecuador&action=historysubmit&diff=431225394&oldid=431192791

I also left a note on the talk page of that article.
