Our wiki was running MW 1.26 and unknown versions of Parsoid and StructuredDiscussions before I upgraded to MW 1.30, Flow: REL1_30 9193b03, and Parsoid (0.9.0all) jessie-mediawiki 5fe6923ab
The MW upgrade went fine, and I tested SD by entering a comment, which submission seemed to succeed, but after returning to the talk page I got:
An error has occurred while processing HTML/wikitext conversion. Flow\Exception\WikitextException from line 374 of /var/www/arabdigitalexpression.org/wiki/mediawiki-1.30.0/extensions/Flow/includes/Conversion/Utils.php: Misplaced DOCTYPE declaration htmlParseStartTag: misplaced <html> tag htmlParseStartTag: misplaced <head> tag htmlParseStartTag: misplaced <body> tag
For some reason that affected also the recent changes page, which kept displaying the same error!
The relevant record in table flow_revision had the following in rev_content:

</section></body></html>After I manually edited the field by removing the <!DOCTYPE>, <html>, <head>, <body> and <section> tags, the discussion page and recent changes page returned to normal. However, commenting anywhere fails with messages like:
[94aa215d19afdd79f5d8eda7] Exception caught: Request to parsoid for "wikitext" to "html" conversion of content connected to title "Topic:Uaiwn3m09miqfsxk" failed: 406
Is "406" here the same as the HTML error "unacceptable"? does it have to do with my configuration?
It is worth mentioning that during creating the problematic comment, I was going back and forth between rich and wikitext views, where in every context switch the text block I had previously entered in the rich-editing mode was made un-editable in the comment entry field upon returning to rich-text from wikitext modes.
