Lately, the whole site has been frequently popping up error pages that start with "Sorry! This site is experiencing technical difficulties." followed by a whole bunch of error lines. This can occur when trying to do literally anything -- going to any page can do this (not even trying to post anything, although it happens when doing that as well). Is this a hosting provider problem, or anything that it is possible to do something about?

:: Yeah, this is an internet-wide problem caused by the insatiable hunger of the AI companies for stealing everyone's data to put in their training models. Multiple forums I'm on have also had their view counts go through the roof recently without a corresponding increase in actual posts and had to implement anti-bot measures. It's not going to get better until the AI bubble bursts. [[User:Yourmusic Productions|Yourmusic Productions]] ([[User talk:Yourmusic Productions|talk]]) 18:21, 10 September 2025 (UTC)

Usually it works after clicking "save changes" again, but it's still quite annoying. --[[User:Overthink|Overthink]] ([[User talk:Overthink|talk]]) 07:01, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

: I see the same thing. It occurs more often when I take a long time before previewing or saving changes, but occasionally it happens even in a short editing session. And while it usually works after saving changes again, occasionally it loses some or all of my changes.

== Audio files from Wikimedia Commons ==

Why I try to add an audio file from Wikimedia Commons, it shows up as a link to the file instead. For example:

[[File:Primary triads in C just.mid]]

Please fix this issue. --[[User:Overthink|Overthink]] ([[User talk:Overthink|talk]]) 22:15, 20 March 2026 (UTC)

== Editing sections returns to wrong section ==

For example, if I edit an "11-limit" section in a temperament data page, after clicking "save changes", it puts me at the ''first'' section that says "11-limit", instead of the one I was editing. This is a relatively minor issue, but I still believe it is important to take note of this. --[[User:Overthink|Overthink]] ([[User talk:Overthink|talk]]) 01:29, 21 March 2026 (UTC)

== 500 internal server error when attempting to edit some user pages ==

When attempting to edit one of my pages [[User:Lucius Chiaraviglio/Keyboard Layout Lab]], I get 500 internal server error as soon as I try to Preview or Save. This was just a few minutes after successfully editing [[User:Lucius Chiaraviglio/Keyboard Layout Lab/Unnamed temperament Lumatone mappings]]. On the page with the error (which it gives every time), I was just rearranging stuff, and the total length should not have changed at all. [[User:Lucius Chiaraviglio|Lucius Chiaraviglio]] ([[User talk:Lucius Chiaraviglio|talk]]) 05:01, 24 June 2026 (UTC)

: This is also happening to me as well, for some main space pages, for example [[Well temperament]]. --[[User:BudjarnLambeth|BudjarnLambeth]] ([[User talk:BudjarnLambeth|talk]]) 06:40, 24 June 2026 (UTC)

:: . . . Tried again a few days later and both Preview and Save worked this time, although I don't know yet whether this is a consistent fix or I just got through this time by chance. (Note that the possibly related "Sorry! We could not process your edit due to a loss of session data." bug has still NOT been fixed.) [[User:Lucius Chiaraviglio|Lucius Chiaraviglio]] ([[User talk:Lucius Chiaraviglio|talk]]) 15:47, 26 June 2026 (UTC)

: Tyler (our sysadmin) has addressed the issue earlier this week, so yeah it should be fixed. As for the session data loss bug, it seems less urgent as it usually does not actually lose data and just takes a bit more time and clicks, but I'll let him know in case he's not aware of it yet. --[[User:Fredg999|Fredg999]] ([[User talk:Fredg999|talk]]) 18:36, 26 June 2026 (UTC)
