Infobox on en.wikipedia's The Little Prince

The infobox on w:en:The Little Prince seems to be impossible to edit with VisualEditor. When I tried, it turned into a bunch of code gobbledygook.

The refs in the infobox cause the info box to add a broken COinS identifier into the caption. When rendering in 'read' mode, the recovery from the brokenness results in something reasonably workable. In VE edit mode however the recovery system isn't (and for various technical reasons probably never will be) nearly as effective and you get a result that is closer to what is actually "defined" and that means broken rubbish.

You can see the same brokenness if you copy paste the first parts of the article and put them in en:Special:ExpandTemplates and check "Show raw HTML"-there. The caption is totally broken (If you can read HTML that is).

The solution is to either not use those refs in those fields (specifically the one for country it seems), or to fix the COinS generator in [[:en:Template:Infobox book}}
