When I added an initial paragraph, the product box disappeared.
It is still listed in the source, but isn't showing up on screen.
This might be a bug?
I can't do much about it because the stub notice on same line means I can't edit it.  [[User:Drakeula|Drakeula]] ([[User talk:Drakeula|talk]]) 06:19, 6 November 2025 (UTC)
:That's probably visualeditor. It is ‘WYSIWYG’ to some degree but some things it just doesn’t show. The general rule for it is ‘if you can’t edit it in VE, you aren’t seeing it’.

When I added an initial paragraph, the product box disappeared. It is still listed in the source, but isn't showing up on screen. This might be a bug? I can't do much about it because the stub notice on same line means I can't edit it. Drakeula (talk) 06:19, 6 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
