Bug #: 40581
Summary: Article feedback truncates IPv6 addresses of users
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ArticleFeedbackv5
/Karel_(programming_language)/406887
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Keywords: ipv6
Severity: major
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: ArticleFeedbackv5
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
The article feedback extension stores IP addresses of anonymous users in a
32-character field (af_user_ip varchar(32) NULL), possibly assuming the IP
address is normalized to a colon-less form. Which is not the case, and a
40-character field is needed (like e.g. in recentchanges.rc_ip in core).
Currently, in longer IPv6 addresses, the tail is cut off, see e.g. the linked
URL showing a nonsensical “2001:da8:201:1056:818f:62c9:a132”.
