Bug #: 42408
Summary: IP users browsing to a non-existent page produces
partial output
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.20
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General/Unknown
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
If an IP user browses to a non-existent page they get partial output. This
happens on both Monobook and Vector skins. I haven't tested the others but my
guess is it happens on all skins.
To reproduce, make sure you are not logged in to Wikipedia and browse to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajadfhlkhlkh. The HTML you get begins:
s" title="How to contact Wikipedia">Contact Wikipedia</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<!-- /interaction -->
It then continues normally to the </html> tag. I am seeing the same thing on my
site using 1.20.0 - www.festipedia.org.uk.
If you add ?useskin=monobook to the url the output is a little different but
the same basic problem exists - the browser only receives the last portion of
the HTML for the page.
This defect was also present in 1.19.x so this may be a duplicate. However, if
it has been raised before I am surprised it hasn't been fixed. It gives a poor
experience to IP users.
