I was trying to edit [GFortran in Fortran Wiki](https://fortranwiki.org/fortran/show/GFortran)  
but when I click on the Edit link at the bottom, I have got an editing zone containing only one line:

```bash
undefined[object Object]undefined

```

Same thing with any other page of the Wiki.

According to [Fortran Wiki in Fortran Wiki](https://fortranwiki.org/fortran/show/Fortran+Wiki), the maintainer of Fortran Wiki is Jason Blevins. I tried to contact him several times a few years ago by email, but I never got a reply back. So unfortunately I don’t know how to help.

Ah cool, there was a thread with Jason here: [About the Fortran Wiki](https://fortran-lang.discourse.group/t/about-the-fortran-wiki/5290).

I was able to replicate the issue, and I think it should be fixed now. There was a conflict with some recently updated third-party JavaScript library and the svg-edit integration of the wiki software. It seems to affect all Instiki wikis, but I have managed a local fix for now. Hopefully you can edit the wiki again now too, @vmagnin.

Thanks @jblevins ! It works. I will edit the page after lunch.
