Description

Template previews are broken in VisualEditor. This might only affect non-RESTBase wikis (I can't reproduce at https://www.mediawiki.org/).

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Visit https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deployments?veaction=edit
    image.png (2×3 px, 705 KB)
  2. Make changes to any of the "Deployment calendar event card" templates

  3. The preview is replaced with a copy of the entire page!

Event Timeline

The backend issue also presents in the new topic / reply tool:

  1. Visit https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Deployments

  2. Open the new topic tool, in source mode

  3. Type something

  4. Switch to visual mode – anything you typed is replaced by a copy of the entire page
