So if you go to https://artofproblemsolving.com/wiki/index.php/User:A_mathemagician/projects/blackscreen wiki page you get a black screen.
also theres another issue https://artofproblemsolving.com/wiki/index.php/User:A_mathemagician/projects/popup you cannot close it and it covers everything else
Bug is self-explanatory so I didn't use proper format

This isn't a bug, users are allowed to put HTML on their Wiki pages

This page's code is designed to display a black screen

<div style="width:100vw;height:100vh;background-color:#000;position:fixed;left:0;top:0;z-index:2147483647;" onclick=""></div>

Did you write that HTML just to report a "bug"?

It's white for most browsers (unless you have dark theme or something)

That you cannot affect the wiki with HTML, I would guess.

wait
I still don't understand.
AoPS lets users use HTML in wiki pages.
You used HTML to create the black screen...
Is the HTML not working or something?

As far as I can tell, the bug isn't the black screen. It's the HTML exploitation.

Wait, if users are allowed to put HTML on their wiki pages, how is that a bug

I believe it's that you are allowed to abuse putting HTML in the wiki, which can lead to more nefarious HTML codes being used.
