I’ve been overhauling an article when all of a sudden preview stopped working. Because of that, it has been harder to check how the article turns out since I only could see code.

What happened was when I wanted to preview the article, the code reset to the current revision and there was no preview. I thought there might have been something wrong with the code, so I stared at it confused. Then I decided to copy and paste the code from the other article I overhauled a few months ago and the same thing happened. After that I thought the article could be bugged, so I pasted my overhaul into other articles just to find out the same thing happened.

How did it happen, though? Well, the moment I decided to discard all of my drafts, preview stopped working. Why would that happen? I don’t know, but I would like it fixed.

Hey hey @Vinski ,

We’ve got a known, annoying bug at the moment related to wikitext with the “@” symbol in it. I believe the publishing should work okay, but the preview is broken when there’s an @ in the text. 

I’ll bump the bug report about it to add your experience. But in the meantime, maybe try publishing your changes without previewing first? I think they should go through, as long as you don’t preview.

Hey @Anna ,

Thanks for filling me in about the bug! Yes, I used “@” symbol in the article because there needs to be an annotation “ @Override ” when overriding methods. Now I know how to preview an article with overridden methods or other annotations. Publishing works just fine.

Thank you for your time.:slight_smile:

No prob, Ivan - I talked to one of our engineers and am actually hopeful we’ll have a fix sooner rather than later, but I’ll keep ya posted!

I think we may have a fix out for this - feel free to give it another go. It worked for me, so hopefully!
