"There were scripting errors on this page."

[kuro.s...@gmail.com]

Hi, I regularly visit MDN as my web development reference. But since last week I notice in some pages there is a notice:
"There were scripting errors on this page. While those are being addressed by site editors, you can view partial content below."
In these pages, the contents are incomplete (not as I remembered before).

For example:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Introduction_to_using_XPath_in_JavaScript

What happen? Is there something wrong with the server? The wiki?

Hi!

These are manifestation of a bug in supporting \u values in string with
Kuma (when logged on, you have a more precise message). We have a few
hundreds of such pages and we fix them little by little (in these case,
by removing the deprecated way of linking to non-English pages). This
happens since our Wiki migration early August.

I fixed these two, thanks for telling us!

I think this is this bug:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=784383


Best regards,

Hi, thanks for fixing that.
But now when I look at this page (JavaScript String):
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String
At the section "String instances" I notice that "Properties" and "Methods" have the same exact content, isn't it supposed to contain content from this page (JavaScript String Prototype):
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/prototype

Is this still related to this bug or a scripting error?
Thanks

Hi!

It should be fixed right now. Somebody reported this error to me this
morning :-)

Can you test if this is indeed fixed?

Thank you for the report.

Hi,

I think I stumbled on the same error with this page: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Quirks_Mode_and_Standards_Mode

I didn't delete the old "interwiki translation links", because I don't know how to recreate them on Kuma. The translation menu is empty, but it seems there are 3 translations.

Can simple users recreate the translation links in Kuma? If yes, how?

Thank you.

To be honest, I don't know. I believe there's a bug in the process of being worked on to deal with this situation though.

Hi

I rebuilt the link between the English, French and Japanese version. The
Chiness version seams broken.

Yes they can :)

You have to edit the local page (which means that you have to find it
first... but luckily, you have that information within the old "interwiki
translation links".

Once on the edit mode, You have to click on the link "Edit page title and
properties" (below the page title).

There, you'll find a lookup area : Type the title of the page (not the URL)
you want to link this page with and voila :)

Cheers :)

Hi Jérémie,

Thank you for your help!

After reading your email, I tried to use the feature on this page: https://developer.mozilla.org/fr/docs/HTML/Element/a but it didn't work. Maybe because "a" is too short?

No there is a much bigger issue on this page. The HTML doc in French as
trouble with this bug : https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798809

I hope for a fix in a few weeks
