Stuck on Loading Editor on all wikis

SENIRAM

I am unable to submit any edits on wikis, as the page keeps sticking on loading editor. This is for all wikis, whether I am the Admin of not. Is there a simple solution?

  Hey guys - if it is a recent issue, it is probably due to the server issues Wikia has been having. Hopefully things will stablise soon.
  If it has been happening for a while, it's best to report it to Special:Contact.

  Thanks Eladkse, my case is recent but I've also seen notices that there are browser updates (which I've done on a couple of browsers - makes no difference so holding off on the rest). It causes issues with the facebook layout as well and also using the facebook connect button on the wikia. It usually resolves within a couple of days I presume it's when all the little bug fixes come through :D

MediaWiki:Common.js

SW8573

Hey Sam, I'm a Bloonswikipedian, and I kinda need your help. With regards to the page in the title, is there any place where I can/cannot place code in? I got inspiration from another wiki to do a couple of experiments to see if it works, however, it does not. I am an admin, meaning that I can edit that page. Here are a few links from where I found inspiration:
http://avatar.wikia.com/wiki/Template:USERNAME/doc
http://avatar.wikia.com/wiki/Template:USERNAME/
Basically, I'm trying to add the function to Bloons WIki and it doesn't seem to work for me so far.

Could you also check this page for me? http://bloons.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.js
Btw, I'm asking you because you should have some background knowledge of this kind of topic.

 (Am I posting this to the right person?) I apologise, I should've explained myself better. I wish to incorporate the following line of code into Bloons Wiki's MediaWiki:Common.js, which I have done.
 if (wgUserName != 'null') { $('.insertusername').html(wgUserName); }
 
 The reason for that line of code was because I wanted a Template:UserName which displays the viewer's username.
 
 is the line of code which would be on the Template itself. How I know that this should work is from w:c:Avatar:Template:USERNAMEAvatar Wiki. My question/request to you is: Why doesn't this work on my wiki, when I have already incorporated the lines of code into the right pages? Help, please?

 I still don't know what you are talking about — what are you trying to do with if (wgUserName != 'null') { $('.insertusername').html(wgUserName); }; and why is w:c:Avatar:Template:USERNAMEAvatar Wiki related to it. Also, can you please ask more about this on Bloons Wiki as it is not really related to Community Central.

 Try replacing

 with
 
 function UserNameReplace() { if(typeof(disableUsernameReplace) != 'undefined' && disableUsernameReplace || wgUserName == null) return; $("span.insertusername").html(wgUserName); } addOnloadHook(UserNameReplace);
 
 Be sure to purge your cache when you're done.

 Thanks for the advice everyone, but am I doing something wrong?
 This is the link for MediaWiki page, which I have done as you have suggested, Dzylon (near the bottom).
 However, I have purged the cache and this (the Template:Username page) shows up as blank, although there is some code there.
 EDIT: What I plan for this template to do is to display the name of the logged in viewer.

 If done correctly, it should allow a template to display the username of whoever is viewing the page at that moment. How does the Avatar Wiki relate to this? I got the idea from them, because they have successfully managed it.

 All they do is if (wgUserName != 'null') { $('.insertusername').html(wgUserName); } I'm telling you, what's breaking it is the {{#switch}}. It isn't valid javascript, so it creates an error and stops the browser parsing the rest of the page.

 Matthew2602 is correct. I personally would do:

 couldn't you just do if (wgUserName)? That would filter out if it was null as well (which is what I'm pretty sure it is when you're logged out), because null has a type of 'object'.

 Trackers Interface Wiki has used the display username thing. Here is how to use it:
 Apply the following to MediaWiki:Common.js:
 
 $(function() { if(typeof(disableUsernameReplace) != 'undefined' && disableUsernameReplace || wgUserName == null) return; $("span.insertusername").text(wgUserName); });
 
 Also, add the following to Template:Username:
 
 {{#switch:{{{2|}}} |userpage |user page |user |page={{#ifeq:#%*(%&@(#%|#%*(%&@(#%|{{{1|an IP address}}}|[[{{ns:2}}:|{{{3|}}}]]}} |talkpage |talk page |talk |message |messagewall |message wall={{#ifeq:#%*(%&@(#%|#%*(%&@(#%|{{{1|an IP address}}}|[[{{ns:3}}:|{{{3|}}}]]}} |plain={{{1|An IP address}}} |#default={{{1|An IP address}}}}}

  You can only if you have a confirmed email-address (you can confirm it in Special:Preferences). After, log-in to your email, then you should find a message which makes sure you know you have sent the request, and replying to the message will add more to the question. However, the question may sometimes not be answered until the next day, or even later, so please be patient.

  I'm sorry to hear about this. For your information, unfortunately, Wikia's Terms of Use state that "the Service is intended solely for users who are thirteen (13) years of age or older. Any registration by anyone under 13 is unauthorized, unlicensed and in violation of this Agreement. By registering for the Service Site, you represent and warrant that you are 13 or older and that you agree to and to abide by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. [...] The Company may terminate your account, delete your profile and any content or information that you have posted on the Service and/or prohibit you from using or accessing the Service for any reason, or no reason, at any time in its sole discretion, with or without notice."
  The reason users under 13 years of age are prohibited from creating accounts here is Wikia's way of ensuring that they are complying with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (see http://coppa.org/). It has nothing to do with anything you have done wrong, but rather, it is a legal liability for the company which they don't want to deal with. So their solution is to simply prohibit all users under the age of 13 from using the service. There is unfortunately nothing you or anyone can really do about this :(

Taking a look at your signature, I see you are using hex values that do not exist. Hex runs from 0-9, A-F. Colors like #bqbqbqbq default to #b0b0b0 because q does not exist in hex. So every value you have over F is defaulting to 0.
