             Bug #: 38562
           Summary: Remove talk page statistics from MediaWiki's info
                    action
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: easy
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: General/Unknown
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]
            Blocks: 38450
    Classification: Unclassified
   Mobile Platform: ---


Currently MediaWiki's info action shows a table that looks similar to this:

---
                            Page   Talk page
                  Edits
Number of edits             10     3
Number of distinct authors  4      2
                 Watchlist
Number of watchers          1
---

Given that namespaces aren't always so cleanly paired like this (for example,
the English Wikinews associates three namespaces together) and given that
?action=info is kind of 1:1 title to information based, I believe the talk
page-related data should be removed. When someone queries
?title=Talk:Main_Page&action=info, they can retrieve the metadata about the
talk page. Including it at ?title=Main_Page&action=info is a bad idea.
