I'm not entirely sure if this is a VE bug or a user bug, but it shows up under the needscheck tag, so presumably the VE knows something is wrong. We have several instances of categories being stripped from articles, including: *https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2013%E2%80%9314_Juventus_F.C._season&curid=39905874&diff=563942424&oldid=563942210 *https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=A._Dakshinamurthy&curid=16805989&diff=563911982&oldid=563853744 *https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Body_Party&curid=38681444&diff=563891098&oldid=563879499 In the last 12 hours or so.
Looks like those pages have unclosed big/small annotations, which are wrapping all the content beneath them, including the categories. This is triggering a previously unseen bug in the converter.
