Bug #: 40010
Summary: Special:Export changes Project namespace prefix to
SITENAME
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.20-git
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Export/Import
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
When using Special:Export to export from the Project namespace, the <title>
values should say <title>Project:ArticleName</title>. Instead, they say
<title>$wgSiteName:ArticleName</title>.
For example, if you use Special:Export on a wiki (say, Wiki1) to create an XML
file, then import into another wiki, Wiki2, then you will create the
wrongly-named article "Wiki1:About" in Wiki2. This is bad and unexpected.
Special:Export should use the exact article names chosen by the user doing the
export.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit Special:Export on English Wikipedia.
2. Enter "Project:About" and click the Export button.
3. Examine the <title> tag and you'll see: <title>Wikipedia:About</title>,
rather than <title>Project:About</title>. This is the bug.
4. Now import the XML dump into another wiki. You create the wrongly-named
article "Wikipedia:About" instead of "Project:About". This is the bad effect of
the bug.
