@Rical: Thanks! Please edit the task description and fix all the broken <b> markup and broken [ link ] markup, and provide a clear list of steps to reproduce which is still missing. (I don't know what and why there are items like "Type of activity" or "Who would benefit + your name." as they are not helpful.)
See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Phabricator/Help#Formatting_and_markup for more information, or use the toolbar at the top of the Description text field.
There is a preview at the bottom of https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/edit/245812/ . Thanks in advance!

You has changed the task status from Stalled to Open. That means all active Lua coders are stopped in their works.

@Rical: Unfortunately I don't understand your last comment. Please read my previous comments. Thanks.

Sorry : I meant : You has changed the task status from Open to Stalled. That means all active Lua coders are stopped in their works.

@Rical: Tasks are stalled when they are not clear. You can fix this by following https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_report_a_bug and providing a better task description, as explained in previous comments. Changing the status to "Open" will not fix any problem, as long as there is no clearer problem description.

a good way to confirm or infirm this task is to very simply it is to try yourse :

  1. follow the link to edit of my Module:Centalizer
  2. change a small part of a comment
  3. Try to valid your own change
  4. repport your result in the task T245812
  5. change or not the status of the task
Reedy updated the task description. (Show Details)
  1. Try to valid your own change

I have no idea what "valid your own change" means. Or which buttons to click. Or what exactly to do. Because despite asking many times, there are no clear steps.

Also, which other Lua coders on that wiki have experienced the very same problem?

Unfortunately closing this Phabricator task as no further information has been provided. @Rical: After you have provided clear information and if this still happens, feel free to set the status of this task back to "Open" via the Add Action...Change Status dropdown. Thanks.
