Hello,

You may receive the following error window on fandom after sending a message or publishing an edit:

Error message - An error occurred while posting a message

If it happens, then please do the following to prevent doubleposting (or tripleposting or even more):

Before you re-send you message or edit, first check Special:WikiActivity or Special:RecentChanges in a new tab or window and wait a minute.
If you see your message or edit there, it means it has been posted successfully. In this case, you can ignore the error window.
Only if your message or edit isn't there, then "Copy you work and try again later".

Yes actually. It just said that when the system had some problem, after you saw this, just close the error window, then reload the page, it must be successfully posted.

I tripleposted as I didn't know before. I removed 2 of the replies with a reason of excessive replies.

I tried using source mode to edit afterwards, and after that I never saw this. I think using source mode to edit will never discover this window.

It doesn't look so. I have been using the source mode as the only editor for years. Still, I experienced the problem.

@ZKHJames:

When you were trying to post/publish your contribution(s), were you doing so as an unregistered user, or were you logged in?
