Can’t create a wiki page on OpenStreetMap wiki

Hi,

I'm creating a page in wiki, and it stuck on "Save your changes" pop-up (see attached). no button works except "I'm not a robot", which, after completing, still asks to complete. Clicking on X button or outside the pop-up changes nothing, so the only way is to refresh the page, losing all you've done. I tried twice, no luck.

Anyone encountered anything similar?

Thanks

Just checking - you're definitely doing this on desktop not mobile? See https://github.com/openstreetmap/operations/issues/449 and similar issues.

Not sure if I understand you correctly, but sometimes one needs to solve multiple CAPTCHAs. A more detailed description might be helpful.

yes, I solved maybe 10+ CAPTCHAs twice. no luck in visual editor, I was able to save the page in source editor.

Thanks everyone

One Answer:

Looks like this is a bug in the software. Until it is fixed, you should be able to create new pages and add external links using the desktop version and the source code editor instead of the VisualEditor. Another user reported the problem, too.
