I have experienced this as well. For the problem went away when I restarted the browser and logged out then logged in again. I'm not sure if this is a local browser issue or if the session data got messed up server-side, but getting a new session was the only way to solve it for me.

Hello Wikimedians, Saw the message in this image [1] one week ago but didn't take it serious. Now it seems to be real. I can't Save. The screenshot [1] show messages from frwp and enwp when I tried to save my changes. Yes, I've tried logging in and out several times. Best, 1. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B99n1pG7IHtJdy1VeFZXX19HYTQ/view - Enock _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/ wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines and https://meta.wikimedia.org/ wiki/Wikimedia-l New messages to: Wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-request@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>

This happened lately to a lot of Wikipedians, including myself. See https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T151770 for the technical details. Briefly, if you delete all your cookies and log back in to Wikipedia, then this should work. (Deleting your cookies will cause you to get logged out of all your websites where you have accountes, so be sure that you remember all your passwords or get ready to processing a lot of password reminder emails :) -- Amir Elisha Aharoni · אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע אַהֲרוֹנִי http://aharoni.wordpress.com ‪“We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace.” – T.

this is one of the reasons I keep a secondary browser for wikipedia stuff only. I'd recommend seamonkey https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SeaMonkey or Vivaldi https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vivaldi_(web_browser) -- geni

One can also use a different "profile" of firefox/etc. which supports running several browsers with different profiles simultaneously, all in the same user and the same session.
