I am no expert, but when I select the wrong number of cats and press "save
page" I get an error message, asking me to select all cats.

When I select the correct number of cats, and press "save page", I get no
error message but are returned to the page with the updated content.

It is funny though, because now that I did it again (with another url) I
did not get any cats at all. Are you a sysop, maybe that is a difference ?

I also checked the security, I cannot see any special limitations for
external links.

But I think this is one where people like TJ can give a far better answer
than I am able to.

There is another difference, I have a "save page", no "submit page" as you
have.

Sorry for not being able to solve your problem.
