where did the content go?? Admin 19:37, 5 November 2014 (CET)

Weird. The content is there, but we can't see it. Selecting the empty page and and Viewing Selection Source in Firefox, I get this where the content should be:

NewPP limit report
Preprocessor node count: 51/1000000
Post-expand include size: 2138/2097152 bytes
Template argument size: 1144/2097152 bytes
Expensive parser function count: 0/100

Googling the error takes me here: [1]
Seems like a possible "stack overflow" in a template - will try to track it down.

Don't think it's an infinitely recursing template after all. If I understand the template limit correctly, the limit is site-wide, not per-page ... I now suspect the External Filters page, which calls hundreds of templates directly, and who knows how many indirectly. I'm currently working on an edited External Filters page with most templates removed and their contents expanded manually, by copy-and-paste. (If you haven't noticed, External Filters is missing its content too)

There are more pages with invisible contents (see [2]). I'm glad you have some ideas about the cause, because i wouldn't have guessed that those templates could become a problem. Let me know if you need anything from me. Admin 23:06, 5 November 2014 (CET)

OK, glad to have your confidence. I have a revised External_filters page ready, with expanded Author templates, and will commit the change now...and, it does not help

Googled some more - see here: [3]

"In this case, an upgrade to MediaWiki 1.22.3 or a downgrade of the PCRE extension would solve the issue."

also: [4]

"You need to downgrade PCRE, or update MediaWiki to version 1.22.1 or newer"

Good luck!!!
