Known issues in FamilySearch Wiki are reported below, with the most recent at the '''top''' of the list:  
== MediaWiki Internal Error When Trying to Sign in to FamilsySearch Wiki ==
 
{{Resolved}} When trying to sign in to the Wiki, a patron may receive an error stating, "MediaWiki internal error. Exception caught inside exception handler." This can happen if the patron is attempting to sign in with a user name that has an underscore (_) in it, as in this example: user_name.
== Gibberish (HTML code) on pages  ==
The patron should change his or her user name to remove the underscore. This should allow him or her to sign in to the Wiki with no problems. [[User:Averyld|averyld]] 16:09, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
 
{{Unresolved|Workaround available}} Many pages are showing up with gibberish on them, which is actually HTML code. Some of these involve images. These will have to be corrected one by one, through the History of the pages. Charles Smith has volunteered to fix these, but it may take some time to go through them all. It is believed that this occurs when trying to edit a page too quickly after clicking on Edit. You need to wait for the initial Wikitext to go away before editing. These pages are being reported as they are found, so that engineering can ascertain the exact cause of the problem.

;Problem: If you try to edit a page with an image map on it, it tells you "Error: image is invalid or non-existent."  
 
;Workaround: Set-up the imagemap as a [[template]] adding the [[magic word]] "noricheditor" in capital letters with two underscores before and after like <nowiki>__</nowiki>NORICHEDITOR<nowiki>__</nowiki> in between a set of noinclude tags. This will prevent the [[Rich Text Editor]] from opening when editing the template but will allow it's use on the page where the imagemap is included.<br>

{{unresolved}} [http://forums.familysearch.org/en/showthread.php?t=1585 Users have reported] that they are logged out after a shorter time period than before the change. It is believed that this is due to the wiki inheriting the timeouts from new FamilySearch which is intentionally short due to the risk of confidential information being left open by users working from public access computers. It is believed that the programmers are already working on this issue.

[https://wiki.familysearch.org/en/User:StringhamDB StringhamDB] That is correct. The Research Wiki's timeout is set at 45 minutes but since the change to CIS authentication we are limited to 24 minutes. This issue needs to be set with a high priority on the Research Wiki backlog. <br><br> [[User:JonesWD|W]]arren 16:19, 2 May 2012 (UTC) I haven't received any reports of this issue but I would like to be able to document it if it is still happening. Please send an email to report any recent issues to support@familysearch.org with the subject "Getting timed out of the Wiki" And then in the body of the email include the details. Steps and timeframe so support can reproduce the issue.

<br> This issue hasn't been talked about since 2008? In reading the comments it appears more to be a content issue rather than an issue for the engineers. There has not been a engineering ticket created and even if I imagine it is so old that it isn't even on engineering's radar. [[User:JonesWD|JonesWD]] 21:41, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
