This is going to give you a headache {{Infobox ship begin}} http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Infobox_ship_begin is used in 26840 pages. I provides styling for tables used to make infoboxes relating to ships. It is used like {|{{Infobox ship begin}} {{Infobox ship image |Ship image=[[File:Whydah-model.jpg|300px]] |Ship caption=The ''Whydah Gally'' (1716–1717) }} {{Infobox Ship Career ... }} |- |Commanded by: |Cap't. [[Lawrence Prince]] ... |} The template transcludes {{WPMILHIST Infobox style}} which provides CSS styling class="infobox {{#if:{{{2|}}}|{{{2}}}}}" style="float: right; clear: right; width: 315px; border-spacing: 2px; text-align: left; font-size: 90%;" So the table start tag and its styling are separate. Unsurprisingly VE fails to edit pages with this template correctly. The following was reported at http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback&oldid=572065469 Open the article in the visual editor, e.g. by visiting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whydah_Gally?veaction=edit Observe the article now leads with the out-of-place text <nowiki>class="infobox " style="float: right; clear: right; width: 315px; border-spacing: 2px; text-align: left; font-size: 90%;"</nowiki> try to click "save page" but note that it is not active make a trivial change so that "save page" is active. Click it Click "review your changes", not that it says that <nowiki>{{Italic title}}{|{{Infobox ship begin}}</nowiki> was replaced with <nowiki>{{Italic title}}{{Infobox ship begin}} {|{{Infobox ship begin}}</nowiki>
Thanks for filing the report. We should have a fix for the edit corruption bug soon (it will be fixed as part of a patch that Arlo is working on). More later on the other parts of the bug, once we discuss how to handle this.
