As described in T308171 and T311519, template errors are causing translation to fail altogether, instead of proceeding with the following template on the queue.
Consider marking templates as non-applicable in these cases.
However, including the error somewhere in the template output would be useful to diagnose the problem from the Web2Cit-Server debugging information, or from the Web2Cit-Editor, which already includes in its data model a place to store such errors.
