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

What is the output in your web browser's developer tools console if you go to https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Benutzer:ⵓ/test.js&debug=true and click "Edit Source"? For more information please see:

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

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.
