## Situation

After editing a topic’s description post containing a group mention, the server returns 500, preventing the edition.

## Diagnostic

Log says “TypeError: Discourse.Markdown is undefined Url: [https://ps.zoethical.com/assets/plugin-third-party-4d3728cb346366b10ae699230b046fac450fb2e79749c551e62df3d5756b4456.js](https://ps.zoethical.com/assets/plugin-third-party-4d3728cb346366b10ae699230b046fac450fb2e79749c551e62df3d5756b4456.js) Line: 9 Column: 12674 Window Location”:

It seems that one of the plugins is interfering with group mentions. But how to identify that plugin?

I had the occurrence already before upgrading to `1.9.0.beta11` but thought it was me using groups badly: I tried to send a group message, but failed with a similar error.

Not updated for 3 years, remove it, almost certainly it is interfering

Thank you for reporting this! 👍

FYI I’ve just updated [lidel/discourse-openstreetmap](https://github.com/lidel/discourse-openstreetmap.git) and it is safe to use again, no longer produces `TypeError` 🌵
