             Bug #: 40321
           Summary: Moving page with subpages causes inappropriate (wrong)
                    red links in post-move parsing of root page
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: General/Unknown
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]
    Classification: Unclassified
   Mobile Platform: ---


You have "Root page" with the content "[[/Subpage]]". And you have "Root
page/Subpage" with any content. If you move "Root page" to a different title
(e.g., "Beet page") and select the "move with subpages option", MediaWiki will
move all of the pages as expected.

However, when you open "Beet page" (the new root page title after the
successful page move), you'll see a red link where [[/Subpage]] is. This
indicates that the page has been re-parsed after the page move, but some time
in between the root page being moved and the subpage(s) being moved. This
behavior is wrong. The order should be tweaked so that the page text is
re-parsed after all of the subpages have been moved, I think, if possible.

The workaround is to manually purge the page (using ?action=purge or
equivalent).
