I assume you are refering to this message:
Semantic Forms error: backtrace limit exceeded during parsing! Please increase the value of pcre.backtrack_limit in php.ini or LocalSettings.php.Semantic Forms error: backtrace limit exceeded during parsing!

We haven't been able to get rid of that message, but we have found no problem with it. The form does tend to bog down at times, because when you type in some of the fields, it tries to match with existing pages on the wiki, and there are a lot of those! I had no problems entering the extra detail into the Henry Green (1878-1968) page, though I admit to using "copy and paste" from my database report rather than typing from scratch. Which browser and O/S are you using? I am using Firefox on Windows 10 (on a desktop PC). Thurstan (talk) 03:54, February 9, 2016 (UTC)
