(Happy 7/11 Day today, roughly 50 years, half a century, after the Icee was released as the 7-Eleven Slurpee! Even though I'm not from there, as just a customer I suggest that you go get a free "birthday cake" Slurpee between 11:A and 7:P, at least if you're in the USA!)

Anyway, I just signed up as Wikipedia:user: Consistency is Key on the English Wikipedia the other day, and not even a day later, after having been logged out for some reason, right after trying to relog in I was stopped dead in my track by this crazy error message:

[V4PWKApAAEQAAIrxM9QAAACM] 2016-07-11 17:23:53: Fatal exception of type "Exception"

And it happens no matter which browser or other system's IP address I use. How do you fix that?

(And don't forget your free Slurpee this 7/11 Day, at least in the USA, before 7: PM, especially on this half-century mark of the treat! Just a Slurpee/Icee fan here!)

Right. But a few other people have. So if we can get some official help here in the nearly foreseeable future, that'd be great!

After creating my account on Wikipedia less than 24 hours ago, I have the same problem here, it definitely comes from the account : I tried to log in from two browsers and two machines on two different networks.

Any help is welcome.

I have informed WMF ops about this issue. They promissed to check logs.

Probably another instance of Phab:T119736. Sorry for the hassle, working on fixing it...

Seems like it is fixed, working fine for me.

Thanks for the help.
