Description Lydia Pintscher 2013-06-21 09:21:29 UTC
The browser window title is changed to "Parse error at position 0 in input {{"}}{{{1|$1}}}{{"}}" when editing an article with the VisualEditor on dewp. Reproducible in many articles and at least Firefox and Chromium.
Comment 1 This, that and the other (TTO) 2013-06-21 11:12:34 UTC
This seems to be caused by the templates in [[de:MediaWiki:Editing]]. 

Can be seen on testwiki as well, where parser functions are the cause ([[testwiki:MediaWiki:Editing]]).
Comment 2 Lydia Pintscher 2013-06-29 18:28:50 UTC
This seems solved now on dewp. Good to close from my side.
Comment 3 This, that and the other (TTO) 2014-03-01 00:32:01 UTC
This is still an issue. I've restored MediaWiki:Editing on testwiki for demonstration purposes.

Krinkle has stated "Don't use wikitext in this message" (MediaWiki:Editing), but he didn't give a reason. Since parser functions, etc. work fine in this message in MediaWiki core, I think we should expect VE to handle them too, or else it should use a different message that specifically does not support fancy stuff.
