I have no idea what this is, but this isn’t the first time this has happened. When I see someone edit a <nowiki> diff, it gives a weird string of… “garbage data”. If you look at the screenshot below, you’ll see what I mean. Running Windows 8 64-bit with Opera 12.15

This is definitely a weird problem. It kind of looks like the mediawiki parser failed when processing this page for some reason, which does happen. If we see this problem happen with any frequency, we should track it down.

It did it again today. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get a screenshot as my computer got a BSOD:frowning:

Yeah I saw it once

In the image, I didn’t see anything wrong. Do you mean that the circles were the wierd strings?

Hi @Hailey-Girges , please refrain from bumping old threads. This issue has not been reiterating which possibly means that it was fixed or was just a one-time thing.
