An edit to a module's JSON page has not been saved but the page has been reloaded as if it had been saved without reporting an error
Closed, InvalidPublicBUG REPORT

Description

Hello! The Contributions special page has not listed a change that I made to a JSON file.

I've done the following in the Slovene Wikipedia:

  • Made an edit to Module:Class/definition.json
  • Saved the page
  • Went to Special:Contributions to see my edits.

The edit is not listed there. (I have provided the username and namespace correctly.)

I have now figured out that the page has been reloaded as if it had been saved after clicking the "Save" button (no JSON error was reported), but the change has not been implemented.

The change was the following:

"ič": {
    "alias": "fa"
},

Was replaced with

"i\u010d": {
    "alias": "fa"
},

but the change has not been implemented.

Because there's no change. The escape sequence (you can't save that) has been decoded back to readable character which already exists.

Not sure why you want to do that change. But if you want save \u010d literally, you have to escape it too as \\u010d.
