Thanks for the report, but I'm unable to reproduce the issue.
Anyone else able to reproduce it? Are you/anyone seeing the
issue at this time? Anyone else also see it earlier?
I've tried the following on: https://www.wiki.balug.org/wiki/doku.php
without being able to reproduce the issue:
Chromium
Chromium incognito mode
Firefox
Firefox private browsing mode
Lynx
curl
wget
Chome on Android from another ISP
Chrom icognito mode on Android from another ISP
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cut-and-pasted a text screen-capture and submitted it as a [BALUG-Test]
'Test of BALUG Wiki pages' posting yesterday morning; see [2].
AFAICT, that "blankness or editing outline-only issue" for BALUG DokuWiki
pages [3] and [4] occurred from before 08:00am PDT up through the late
morning, and then went away by mid-afternoon yesterday.
Probably reloaded both those BALUG DokuWiki pages a half-dozen times or so
over the morning time-period using mostly Firefox-ESR standard mode and
Firefox-ESR private browsing mode, and maybe once or twice using TOR
browser in its [least] Safe mode.
Same results for all browsers used to test those pair of pages during that
entire morning time-period.

That may have done it.
Looks like I need to add more space to /var and/or clean some more stuff
off of it:
df -h /var
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/balug-var 4.9G 4.5G 190M 97% /var
#

Thanks much, Michael, for effectively diagnosing and resolving the issue!
:-)
Besides considering the issue arising from the DokuWiki site itself or
BALUG's device /dev/mapper/balug-var, was also considering the possibility
that the issue might have arisen from my own browser client.
Why so?
Well, there was no issue whatsoever with successfully loading BALUG
DokuWiki pages [3] and [4] throughout Sunday and Monday of this week.
What changed on Tuesday afternoon was upgrading Firefox-ESR to a slightly
higher, minor version as per 'less /var/log/apt/history.log' :
> Start-Date: 2021-04-20 14:10:03
> Commandline: apt upgrade
> Upgrade: firefox-esr:amd64 (78.9.0esr-1~deb10u1, 78.10.0esr-1~deb10u1)
> End-Date: 2021-04-20 14:10:15
One or more bugs in the upgraded FF 78.10.0esr could have conceivably
rendered text and links in the BALUG DokuWiki incorrectly afterwards, as
remote as this possibility might seem to be.
It's good to know that this wasn't the case at all, and that this latest
Firefox-ESR browser was fine after all :-)
Thanks again Michael!

A blank window/page or editing outline currently appears when visiting the
BALUG DokuWiki at [1].
According to a recent DokuWiki User Forum post 'Blank Page after Change
Template'[2], one can apparently "make an edit to conf/local.php".
Someone know how to [properly!] edit that particular PHP file, assuming
that the blankness (or editing outline) on the BALUG DokuWiki happens to
be this situation?
On the outside chance that it's somehow related to the above,
BALUG/SF-LUG/BerkeleyLUGs' last scheduled outage was apparently on Wed
2020-07-22 8:15am-4:45pm PDT US/Pacific according to [3].
