Now I'm getting a really cursed bug here. I uploaded a correct circuit diagram but it likely triggers a bug in librsvg used by Mediawiki so the circuit renders incorrectly, the capacitor just disappears. And it's only triggered by some image sizes, including the default one but not the preview one... ​:blobcatfacepalm:​

The possible failure modes in computing is proportional to your knowledge...

It turns out that SVG rendering is so buggy that Wikipedia even has a special SVG help desk. ​:woozy_baa:​ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:SVG_help

It gets better! Wikicommons has a SVG checker specially meant for checking and working around known SVG bugs. But the checker itself has failed due to a bug. ​:woozy_baa:​

Analyser Log Loading file: figure2.svg Completed file reading! File size is: 30629 bytes Successfully parsed XML structure. Check finished! ERROR: Failed to render SVG file! There are many reasons for thatIt is not distinguishable if the rendered PNG was file was too big or a bug stopped the SVG renderer. The preview image is a giant bug.
