XML error: Mismatched tag at line 1XML error: Mismatched tag at line 1

• When does it happen: This error appears following a (Save page) from an edit session.

• How to avoid it: Always do a (Show preview) before actually saving the page. If you see the error, use your browser's back button to get back to the wikitext box, where you can look for the mismatched tag to fix it. If you cannot find the mismatched tag, one option is to click Cancel so the changes that caused the error are not saved. You will lose any changes you made since the previous save, but the error will be gone.

• What causes this error: A mismatched tag, like a missing closing </scene>, or even a missing "<" or ">" sign, for example in "</scene" (where the final > was inadvertantly deleted).

• How to fix it: You must open the page directly in edit mode. For that, try accessing your page (don't pay attention to the XML error text). Now, slightly modify the URL on your browser replacing the / following index.php by ?title= and adding &action=edit after the name of your page, as shown in this example. Once done, press return on the url to open the page for editing:
  

http://proteopedia.org/wiki/index.php/MyCrashedPage

http://proteopedia.org/wiki/index.php?title=MyCrashedPage&action=edit

Once you have the page in edit mode, all you need to do is to add the missing tag or to remove the superfluous one.
