Bug #: 37469
Summary: IndexPager's use of non-inclusive offsets doesn't work
well on Special:Categories
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.19
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Special pages
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
On Special:Categories, the intuitive thing is to try
Special:Categories?from=Houses and expect a response like:
* [[Category:Houses]]
* [[Category:Houses in Bulgaria]]
* [[Category:Houses in California]]
...
In fact, one gets:
* [[Category:Houses in Bulgaria]]
* [[Category:Houses in California]]
...
Because Houses is supplied as an offset to index pager, and as we know, the the
offset is search non-inclusively. Hence, it doesn't show.
This is fine for many other special pages. CategoryPager should probably be
adjusted to not make this mistake, however; Special:PrefixIndex already uses
custom code to ensure this.
