Bug #: 30368
Summary: Moving a page without redirect does not remove it from
unpatrolled newpages
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.17
Platform: Macintosh
OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.6
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Recent changes
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: t...@tommorris.org
Classification: Unclassified
If a sysop moves a page without a redirect (i.e. you delete the redirect page),
the source page does not get marked as patrolled: from the perspective of the
new page patroller (on Wikipedia etc.) there exist pages in the NewPages queue
that do not exist and can not be marked as patrolled without a bit of hacking.
(The hacky solution goes as follows: you take the link from the NewPages queue
and substitute the title argument from the query string with the page name of a
known page - on English Wikipedia, I use 'Main Page' as that can be relied on
to exist unless an overeager admin deletes it for a bet - and then click 'mark
as patrolled' on the main page, which will remove the revision from the
NewPages patrol. This is, of course, a rather clumsy solution.)
The expected behaviour is that when a page gets removed by
move-without-redirect, the source page should be marked as patrolled and
removed from the NewPages patrol. In addition, the new pages list should
probably also have the target page of the move-without-redirect listed as a new
page (although for English Wikipedia, the consensus of the community may need
to be sought as to whether move-without-redirect target pages should be placed
in the new pages queue or marked as autopatrolled by dint of them being moved
by an admin).
Basically, should the mark as patrolled tag be moved when an admin moves a page
without redirect? If it should, the software doesn't currently do that.
This is similar to bug 16877.
