Bug #: 40009
Summary: Special:Import increases NUMBEROFARTICLES for each
Revision instead of each Article
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Export/Import
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
Recently we've got Special:Import enabled for transwikis from some others
mediawiki wikis (https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38943).
But apparently the article counter (NUMBEROFARTICLES) is not incremented once
for each imported article, but once for each revision of the imported article!
So if I import an article with 100 revisions in the version history
NUMBEROFARTICLES goes up by 100 instead of by 1.
I hope this can be fixed and that the article counter can be reset to it's
actual value (it seems this needs to be done by someone with shell access
[according to this related but different bug report:
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5703]). I assume this also
affects other wikis and it just went unnoticed because other wikis deal with
higher article creation rates so the unusual article number bumps were covered
by regular article creations and went unnoticed? Please check and update the
article counters of the other wikis too if this applies.
Thank you very much for your time
