Bug #: 34930
Summary: Handling of .js and .css pages post rename
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Renameuser
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
After usernames are renamed more than once, the move creates pointless .css and
.js double redirects that clutter Special:DoubleRedirects and an admin is
needed to fix them as these pages are treated like protected pages.
I see three ways to fix this.
1. Ignore .css and .js pages while populating Special:DoubleRedirects
2. Do not create a redirect after moving .css and .js pages
3. Allow bots to edit .css and .js pages if these pages are redirects or allow
bots to edit .css and .js pages like admins.
The problematic .css and .js pages are almost always the ones in the former
userspace of renamed users.
