My YKTTW won't show up

I'm confused...I submitted a new YKTTW, but it won't show up on the list. Anyone know why?

Sorry, title got misspelled.

adding that I can reply to existing ones, but my new one won't come.

OK why would it happen on my PC but not my iPad? I do hope the PC attempts don't spam the group all at once.

This is the YKTTW, the original set up returned when I edited it on the PC

It has to be something in the formatting, because when I typed it up on the iPad, I didn't feel like replicating exactly what I had said on the PC, and the iPad version went through.

A quick test YKTTW also went through (I discarded it afterward).

I have the same problem.

Did you try to include a link in the laconic? YKTTW doesn't like these.

I've made it so that the laconic no longer parses wiki code. That should stop the no-save problem.

Hint: Once you're logged in, go to the Tropes home page and click "watchlist" at the top. From your watchlist page you will see two useful menu items: my edits and ykttw history. These will respectively display chronological lists of your edits of main articles, and all YKTTW's you've posted in.

Moreinfo for the curious? I've occasionally run into cases where submitting a YKTTW fails (and moreover, hitting Back on the browser doesn't work because the form shows up blank again) but not often enough to assemble a pattern from.

If the laconic contained any wiki words or URLs, it would cause the YKTTW parser to crash. That should now be fixed.

Might not be fixed based on reports, thus reopening pending move to Query Bugs.

Well, no more reports so closing again.
