Description Hazard-SJ 2013-07-10 04:35:12 UTC

I just attempted to make https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Lua_scripting&diff=728272&oldid=728271 with VisualEditor and got https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Lua_scripting&diff=728270&oldid=664107 instead.

From a quick Google, this is a faulty browser plugin of some kind, FoxLingoJs.

Comment 2 Hazard-SJ 2013-07-13 05:39:42 UTC

How would the addition be the plugin's fault? It isn't added in the normal edit box, or in any other boxes at that.

Your browser's plug-in is inserting HTML into contentEditable <div>s. Some example complaints from around the Web:

* http://forum.wpde.org/allgemeines/108364-foxlingo-script-evtl-schadsoftware-wer-kennt-es.html
* https://drupal.org/node/1871476

There is nothing sane that VisualEditor can do to stop your broken browser, except to ask you here to stop using it. (Though I'd recommend use of a global AbuseFilter to prevent this and similar corruptions of wikis' content.)

Reclosing.
