Description Chris McMahon 2013-08-22 19:30:59 UTC 
In Chrome, edit any page in https://test2.wikipedia.org

Click Transclusion, type 's' into input box.
Result is a list of suggestions that begin with "Smaller" and "Sectstub"

In Firefox, edit any page in https://test2.wikipedia.org

Click Transclusion, type 's' into input box.
Result is a list of suggestions that begin with "Succession box" and "South America"

This suggests that at least one list of Template suggestions is absolutely incorrect.
Comment 1 James Forrester 2013-12-17 02:00:00 UTC 
This is caused by the search back end that supplies the suggestions; I don't think it alters by user/browser so much as over time (though it's cached after the first request for a bit). Not sure if this is a "bug" per se…
