Bug #: 40481
Summary: UI giving fatal error when trying to mark certain
edits as patrolled. (en.wikt)
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Patrolling
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
On the English Wiktionary, when I click a "Mark as patrolled" link for some
edits, I get a fatal error with these details:
> PHP fatal error in
> /usr/local/apache/common-local/php-1.20wmf12/includes/Message.php line 605:
> Call to a member function getText() on a non-object
Observations:
- The error prevents the edit from being marked as patrolled. (Furthermore, the
UI error-message persists even after an edit is marked as patrolled via the API
-- more on that below -- so the error must be taking place before the UI even
gets to the point of trying to mark the edit as patrolled.)
- This seems to be tied to the specific edit: the majority of edits do not
trigger this error, but if an edit *does* trigger this error, it will do so
consistently: every time I visit its mark-as-patrolled page, I get the same
error.
- I haven't observed a pattern to which edits are affected, but if anyone
offers a predictive theory, I can try to confirm or refute it.
- This problem does *not* affect the mark-as-patrolled API call. This offers a
partial workaround, since we have site JavaScript that creates
mark-as-patrolled buttons in various places, and those buttons use the API
rather than the UI; but still, but it's not always very easy to get to one of
those places to find the button for a specific edit that you've tried and
failed to mark as patrolled.
- This is *not* caused by expiring patrol-tokens. If I reload the page that
contains the "Mark as patrolled" link, it will continue to give me a link that
uses the same patrol-token.
