Error 413 generally means, in plain English, "URL too long". I'd suspect some script is trying to do an API query using a very long URL, and the fact that this only happens when JS is enabled lends support to this. Assuming that the Blackberry browser doesn't have particularly good JS debugging support, it might be worth looking at the same page in e.g. FF + Firebug, with JS and net debugging enabled, and looking for any requests with suspiciously long URLs. I've no idea what might be causing the other problems, though. -- Ilmari Karonen _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
