Description

This problem arises very often for pages more than 300KB. Every time when you try to edit and save a long page, MediaWiki returns an error. Sometimes even after an error, a new revision appears in the history of the page after some time; sometimes it is not possible to save a page at all.

Today, I had a problem with the following page:
http://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/Список_відомих_похованих_на_Лук%27янівському_цвинтарі

Version: 1.22.0
Severity: normal
URL: http://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/Список_відомих_похованих_на_Лук%27янівському_цвинтарі

Thanks for taking the time to report this!

Could you please provide the exact error message here, if possible?

Error message

As far I understood, instructions you mentioned are for server-side actions which I cannot do because the error is reproducing on Ukrainian Wikipedia.

I attached a screenshot with an error message, but it seems to be not very helpful for providing details. I guess you can just try to edit that page and see what happens

Attached:

Might be a Wikimedia-specific bug?

It seems that this issue was resolved recently. Now I'm able to edit those large pages that I couldn't edit before. I'm closing this ticket
