I've recently created this user account on TTA mainly to report a bug, but so far I've not found a convenient place to do this. It's a fairly trivial matter, but annoying. It probably is a bug in the "skin" being used to render the TTA's MediaWiki instance. Frequently when I look up a tune, or really any page in the wiki, there will be a small animated icon in the upper right hand corner. Hovering over it renders this message: "running an examiner in the background". Sometimes this icon disappears quickly, but sometimes it hangs around a long time. The CSS of this icon is such that the entire #bodyContent div of the page bobs up and down in time to the animated icon. The offending HTML block is quoted below:

<div id="mw-indicator-smw-entity-examiner" class="mw-indicator">
    <div class="smw-entity-examiner smw-indicator-vertical-bar-loader" data-subject="Jenny's_Welcome_to_Charlie#0##" data-dir="ltr" data-uselang="" title="Running an examiner in the background">
    </div>
</div>

In my browser console I can set the css for the div #mw-indicator-smw-entity-examiner "display: none", but this should be handled somewhere in the global css.

I don't imagine anyone will see this, and so far I've failed to find some sort of community forum where I can ask questions like this

update/edit:

(really!? no way to enter code blocks except the html tag

)

Also, it seems I'm not the only one to notice this. Three years ago someone commented on it in Redit

 update/edit:
-This is maddening! the html block above renders the offending icon and there seems in this editor to be no way to include verbatim code blocks.
