Hmmm. I see what you mean now. https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=&oldid=1111111111111111111&action=view throws an error, so https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=&oldid=1111111111111111111&action=info should presumably as well. This should be filed as a separate bug. > Whether accidentally or by design, "oldid" values are correctly mapped to the > current revision of the relevant page when oldid matches a revisionid, as > expected. You think that's the correct behavior? > If the "title" parameter (or the canonical /wiki/Baz:Foo_bar URL) does not > refer to a page that exists, action=info should return an error page, instead > of the misleading garbage edit history data that it currently returns. This is bug 39688 ("action=info displays misleading edit history for redlinks"). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
