Description

If I go to the URL above and click in the field named "Conditions:" and then press a key such as CTRL, I get the following error in Google Chrome:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'syntaxOk' of null

the error is cause in the line

if ( el.syntaxOk ) {

of the JS which appears inside of a <script type="text/javascript"> tag in a page such as this:
https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Especial:AbuseFilter/history/105/item/1122

I think it can be fixed by first checking if is different of null and only then checking for el.syntaxOk.

The error also happens on Firefox 7.0.1.

So, looking at where that error happens, and the code around it, I see wgFilterBoxName. Looks like that bit of js (edit.js) was removed in r95572. Maybe all that is needed is an update?

CCing Roan who reviewed the code before to see if he thinks it is ready to be deployed.

If you're talking about r95572, that's an enormous revision and shouldn't be deployed by itself.
