           Summary: Mobile editor silently fails when abusefilter is
                    triggered
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: master
          Hardware: All

Mobile editor fails if a given wiki uses abusefilter. An example is plwiki. I
couldn't reproduce it all the times, but half of the times when trying to edit
the API returned an abusefilter message saying that I was removing a lot of
text (even though I was removing a single word) and the edit failed. It seemed
that the second attempt would usually succeed.

Unfortunately, as it is now, when this happens the editor will show a success
message and close, but will not save anything, making the user lose their
changes.

This is similar to bug 52047, however the fix is not the same.
