dewiki: button "Edit source" for .js and .css not working for username ⵓ (tifinagh letter U)
Closed, InvalidPublicBUG REPORT

Description

Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):

Create Username start with tifinagh letter like ⵓ
create page $Username/test.js
save page
click "Quelltext bearbeiten" (Edit source) for page editing

What happens?:
nothing

What should have happened instead?:
open link https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Benutzer:$Username/test.js&action=edit

additional info:

  • action=edit Link works fine as well as shortkey alt-e, so I can edit my scripts problem-free
  • button name "div p-views"->-> "ca-edit" ->"vector-tab-noicon mw-list-item"

Software version (on Special:Version page; skip for WMF-hosted wikis like Wikipedia):

Does accessing https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Benutzer:ⵓ/test.js&action=edit&debug=true directly work for you?

yes. direct link is working fine., es well as alt+e

I have a second User: User:ExUrlBot. with this User, the Button works fine. I have tested it in Firefox and Chrome, both on Linux.

I suspect there is an error in the mediawiki JS behind the button mentioned, which does not work properly with Tifinagh (and possibly other Unicode writing systems).

Please provide the Console output from your web browser's Developer Tools when this happens. See my previous comment.

After clicking on Quelltext bearbeiten, there is no console output.

However, there is output in Version after clicking Lesen und Versionsgeschichte

Für Testzwecke habe ich mir ein neues Konto angelegt: ⵣⵣⵣⵣⵣⵣ, mit diesem funktoniert der Button.

Hi, given the existence of https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Benutzer:ⵓ/common.js I assume that this is a problem with custom on-wiki code.
See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Locating_broken_scripts for more information how to find and fix the problem.
