Yes, I knew about those white pages - the ones I was getting were totally white and if I looked at the server result code it came back with a 500 server error.

I agree totally that comments should not raise any issues - but I actually attempted to create a module containing nothing but that assignment for  and got a server error every time I tried to save with the commented out template references present. It would appear that the parser examines the contents of the comments even if the Scribunto Lua extension isn't going to process them.

It would appear that the bad instance of the  had been the root cause of all this because   uses   and was leading to the server errors whenever I looked at it or.

Now that I've deleted and recreated my modified version of Module:Unsubst I am no longer getting server errors. Still plenty of scripting errors: but that's what I was expecting to find, and I can settle back to getting things sorted for Wikia.

Thank you for your assistance: I think it was a constructive experience, and I think I need to feed back to the Wikia people about the possibility of the parser running unnecessarily when saving a module.
