Description

Obviously it'd also be nice if fatals didn't happen, but I have less faith that that is possible in shorter time…

  • Bug 64009 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Need an example so I know where to put the try/catch.

Mostly seems to be caused by elements it doesn't recognise (? like <section>), especially when copying bits of tables and other structures from non-MediaWiki sources (e.g. Google Docs, Bugzilla or other places). Lots of different mystical errors as well about e.g. refusing to insert a closing tag that hasn't been opened.
