Editing wikipedia issue on Safari

Is anyone else an infrequent editor of Wikipedia? It’s something I’ve done for years on trains etc. however recently I seem to be having all sorts of problems with the functions next to the text box. As soon as I click on one (normally the cite drop-down) the browser just boots me off the live upload page.

Safari > Settings > Privacy > uncheck the Hide IP address box in order to edit wikipedia pages. Don't forget to turn it back on after.

Hi there MarkCB87,


If you are having issues with using a particular website, the recommendations outlined here can resolve unexpected behavior in Safari like this: If Safari doesn't open a page or work as expected on your Mac


If this continues after looking over that, let us know if this is happening in other websites in Safari and which device or devices you are using so that we can proceed to isolate this issue.


Cheers!
