Visual Editor is changing stub templates
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Have noticed lately in Latvian Wikipedia, that in some changes VisualEditor is changing stub templates. See for example this edit. The stub is {{cilvēks-aizmetnis}} -> {{Senie laiki-aizmetnis}}. Notice that {{Senie laiki-aizmetnis}} is already used template (next row).

The editor who made that edit told, that he didn't touch the stub.

Updated the stub meta-template's (in enwiki it would be Template:Asbox) code, maybe it caused this bug?

I think this is what happened on nl.wiki as well.
I'm looking for the bug so I can show you the solution.

@Arlolra, can you please check if this can be solved with what you did then?
The affected template is https://lv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veidne:Cilv%C4%93ks-aizmetnis .

@Elitre Yup, this was resolved with https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/199984/. This edit mentioned above would have also fixed it (removing the duplicate id="stub" on the page). Thanks.
