Bug #: 33993
Summary: populateCategory output is confusing in read-only mode
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.18.1
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Maintenance scripts
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: alexe...@gmail.com
CC: innocentkil...@gmail.com
Classification: Unclassified
STEPS:
1. Delete all data from table "Category"
2. Set read-only mode:
$wgReadOnly = 'Wiki engine upgrade';
3. Launch populateCategory maintenance script to re-create data:
php maintenance/populateCategory.php --force
ACTUAL:
Script reports about success:
"Category population complete."
But actually nothing is changed (table "Category" is still empty) because of
read-only mode.
EXPECTED:
There are two possible ways of correct behavior:
1. Ignore $wgReadOnly and perform database update (like update.php does)
2. Take $wgReadOnly into account and output proper message
