Beta broken at the moment

Summary by Pelagic

Beta downtime is usually brief.

Hint button idea posted under thread Design feedback: version 2.0 mockups.

Testing at https://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Talk:Cats

If I tap Edit, New Section, or a section-edit link, it gives me Internal Error with a backtrace. The box for composing a reply works, but generates an exception when I tap the Reply button to publish/commit.

"Exception caught: Call to a member function isOK() on array"

It appears to be working again. Usually, when the Beta Cluster is down, it's just for a few minutes to a few hours.

It looks like you've been testing at the French Wikipedia. How is it working out for you?

I think I commented somewhere at the time, but I retested more recently and it seems to be behaving well for straightforward cases. If we wrap the date stamp in a <time> element as discussed at phab:T234966, then the detection logic will need to be adjusted. But no problems with usability at this stage, except the @-mention is not obvious until you discover it. We'll learn that soon enough, or someone will write a help doc. If there won't be a 👤 button for linking people, then maybe a❓button for how-to/cheat-sheet? On Phab I'm always using the 📒 book buttton to remind myself how to do things in Remarkup.

Yes Done (at least the bit about the hint button).

Good to know that Beta glitches are usually short-lived. In future I'll wait before posting.
