Working on a project, for whatever reason one of the pages I’m reading up on doesn’t load the math formulas, instead showing error messages. Frankly it’s annoying, as they were literally displaying perfectly fine the other day. Any help on this? Searching the internet brings up nothing useful.

Example

Edit: This was on firefox. Checked it on my phone’s firefox and chrome browsers and it still shows the error. This is probably on Wikipedia’s side of things.

      The Wikimedia Foundation server’s “localhost”, i.e. the computer the wiki software is running from. That does make sense.

        Well. What I find odd about it is that if there is reference to localhost then a production page is reaching out to clients computers to parse some math formula. I think the developer hardcoded something that worked for him and pushed to prod. It could possibly still work for him but not for others without a program listening on that port.
