Gitea version: 1.15.0+rc2
Git version: 2.25.1
Ubuntu Server 20.04LTS (Linux 5.8.0-1039-azure 42~20.04.1-Ubuntu SMP x86_64)
Running Gitea in Docker. Followed docker-compose instructions.
Using PostgreSQL version 13.3 (Debian 13.3-1.pgdg100+1)

Symptoms

I've been playing around with Gitea on a local VM.

I created an empty repository called "Test" and set the default branch to "main".

I immediately tried to create a WIki and add a page. I used the default body "Welcome to the Wiki." However, the page title was not populated by default. I named the page "Home" and clicked "Save page".

This produced a page that read "500" and the attached error messages.

I was not able to reproduce on try.gitea.io.

Logs

The resulting log output:
