Bug ID: 48935
Summary: Can't view source of old revision on meta
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Page editing

What's the issue?
When going to
https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Edittools&oldid=5491472
and clicking "edit" or going directly to
https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Edittools&oldid=5491472&action=edit&uselang=en
I get the following text instead of the page content:
Unauthorized
You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reason:
This page provides interface text for the software on this wiki, and is
protected to prevent abuse. To add or change translations for all wikis, please
use translatewiki.net, the MediaWiki localisation project.
Expexted result:
As the message is still a local message (just an empty one), I would expect to
see an empty, greyed out text area and not getting an error message. A visitor
does not know whether it is really empty without being able to see the source
text.
