In case anyone in unaware: In Aug 2016, Wikia decided that when you press the submit button, before it would actually save the page, it would first contact their tracking server and log the fact that you're pressing the submit button

Curiously, they've now reverted the very change I linked: https://github.com/Wikia/app/commit/57d2dac16aef7df9eca4977d1b82a9f9e7b6fd13

I just found something interesting.

I reported the timeout delay to Wikia Staff in 2016, and they said: "I've talked to our Platform team to understand more of the solution today and we will look at an alternate solution a colleague of mine pitched that won't require a timeout."
