While developing a browser test for bug 60797, I've noticed that some production wikis where VisualEditor is expected to be available do not load VE as expected. In each case, the error message captured at the browser level is (with some variation in the specific line numbers referenced): [Error] Error: JavaScript parse error: Parse error: Missing operand in file 'MediaWiki:Common.js' on line 125 global code (load.php, line 1) Repro steps: 1) Visit a production wiki where VE is expected to be available, and request a random article with a VE edit param: http://cv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random?veaction=edit 2) In browser error console, note JavaScript error mentioned above, and note also that the VE editing surface simply never loads (although it appears to keep trying!) I'll add list(s) of production wikis where this problem occurs as I uncover them in comments on this bug ticket.
Wikis where this problem has been seen: http://af.wikipedia.org http://bpy.wikipedia.org http://cv.wikipedia.org
Some more wikis with the same problem: http://kaa.wikipedia.org http://ln.wikipedia.org http://mzn.wikipedia.org http://new.wikipedia.org http://szl.wikipedia.org
Found one more, so here's a consolidated list of "broken" wikis identified so far: http://af.wikipedia.org http://am.wikipedia.org http://bpy.wikipedia.org http://cv.wikipedia.org http://kaa.wikipedia.org http://ln.wikipedia.org http://mzn.wikipedia.org http://new.wikipedia.org http://szl.wikipedia.org
Updated current list of failures: http://bpy.wikipedia.org http://cv.wikipedia.org http://mzn.wikipedia.org http://new.wikipedia.org I have fixed: > http://af.wikipedia.org > http://am.wikipedia.org > http://kaa.wikipedia.org > http://ln.wikipedia.org > http://szl.wikipedia.org
