Notes

• This also happens when copying a single page using the same endpoint

Workaround

Option A:

1. Edit the page
2. Click on ••• and select View Changes
3. Close the changes dialog and Publish the page

Option B:

1. Create a new bookmark to any page in your browser.
2. Edit the bookmark: change name to 'Fix page' (or any other suitable name) and change address to the following:

   javascript:fetch('/wiki/rest/tinymce/1/content/' + /pages(\/[\w-]+)?\/(\d+)/g.exec(location.href)[2] + '/draft/diff').then(() => console.log('Page fixed')).catch(() => console.log('Error'));
   

3. Save the bookmark. For convenience move it to some easily accessible place (for example Bookmarks Bar in Chrome).
4. Navigate to the page that you can't edit and invoke the added bookmark. You should now be able to edit the page.

Option C:

1. Navigate to the page that you can't edit and open Developer Tools (Chrome), Web Inspector (Safari) or the alternative in your browser.
2. In the Developer Tools open Console.
3. Paste the following code to the console and press Enter:

   fetch('/wiki/rest/tinymce/1/content/' + /pages(\/[\w-]+)?\/(\d+)/g.exec(location.href)[2] + '/draft/diff').then(() => console.log('Page fixed')).catch(() => console.log('Error'));
   

4. You should see the "Page fixed" message, and after that you should be able to edit the page.
