Forum:Strange artefacts in my wiki

From 3-days ago I am getting some strange artefacts in my wiki (42.shoutwiki.com). The first problem is, the TOC section is taking the whole page, as shown in the screenshot below:

Second problem is when I go to the edit page, I see strange blocks near the "Summary" as shown below:

I checked, and saw that it is not due to my CSS. And it is happening in all my wikis.

Also I cannot change in anything from my user preferences.

And also whenever I go to a page a "your edits have been saved" message appears. -- Muhammad2017 (talk) 11:40, 8 December 2013 (UTC)

Can you link to some pages where this is happending? So I, and others, can see if we are seeing the same problems. --Timeshifter (talk) 10:39, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

This is happening in all my pages. for example go to this page and you will see that the table of contents is taking the whole width of the page. And also by clicking edit on that page you can see that there are strange boxes around the "Summary" section below the edit input box. -- Muhammad2017 (talk) 20:31, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

Hi, The problem with changing preferences is solved. But the following two problems are still there: (for example see this page)

1. table of contents taking the whole width of the page.
2. "Summary" section is broken and behaving weirdly. By checking the source, I guessed that the "editOptions" div has been shifted a bit upward to intersect with the "wpTextbox1" div. -- Muhammad2017 (talk) 20:43, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

Not being able to save custom user preferences was indeed a strange post-upgrade bug that was happening only on our production server. We temporarily addressed this issue by turning off the Gadgets extension, which was causing the issue.

The CSS issue with tables of contents was already reported as a part of bug #248 and I've fixed the issue, but the fix is yet to be rolled out to live sites.

The issue with the edit summary section on editing view was a new one, thanks for reporting it. I fixed it by removing one bad CSS rule from /skins/Monaco/monaco/css/monobook_modified.css, but the fix isn't live yet. You can temporarily fix it for your wiki by adding .editOptions { display: block !important; } to your wiki's MediaWiki:Monaco.css. --Jack Phoenix _(Contact) 22:07, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

Many thanks. I have indeed implemented the css in my MediaWiki:Monaco.css. I hope the other fixes will soon be rolled out to live sites. -- Muhammad2017 (talk) 09:07, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
