Symptoms
When you try to edit a space template, the edit page opens as a Rich text editor instead of the new XHTML editor.
Cause
This is caused because the BODYTYPEID rows of the table PAGETEMPLATE are set as 0 while it should be set as 2 instead. The reason why it was not converted is still unknown, however probably could have been caused by some corrupted upgrade of confluence.
Resolution
Perform a database backup before!
Run the following SQL statement:
1UPDATE pagetemplates SET bodytypeid = 2;
