editintro parameter broken
[edit]As pointed out by sawyer777 at the newsroom talk page, the "Start article" button for "Featured content" currently fails to preload content, even though the corresponding template exists at Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Templates/Story-preload/FC.
It looks like this is because of a bug in this template regarding the editintro parameter (which only gets a value for "Featured content" currently, explaining why the preloads for other sections still work).
The generated "Start article" button links to
but it should be
(i.e. the "&" before "editintro" is missing).
@JPxG: did you test this aspect before and after your recent whitespace-optimizing edits to this template?

- I don't see anything like that when I click the 'start article' button for 'Next featured content'. I get

- And it preloads everything just fine. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 17:36, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
- It seems you are unaware of the stopgap changes JPxG made in the meantime, removing support for the "editintro" parameter entirely (see also [1]). Regards, HaeB (talk) 18:58, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
