The unexpected message apearing to unsuspecting sysop
Message " Cannot delete page "$1" " by " MediaWiki:Cannotdelete-title "
misleads sysops in certain specific situation.
*Please update it as below:
"Unable delete page "$1" an edit filter's triggered warning message has blocked
deletion process untill you press back on your browser and repeat/click delete
action again.Afterwards you consider for edit filter no. "x" for excluding
Sysops in user group by inclusion of syntax: & !("sysop" in user_groups) "
*The reason: Please see bug no. 49355.Relevant portion is given below :
*In sysop's regular page deletion activity: At drop down menu of page to be
deleted sysop selects delete >> A confirmation screen apears >> Sysop clicks
'Delete' Button >> Page gets deleted.
*By ommission if any edit filter having active Warning message does not exclude
sysops in user group (usually Autoconfirmed users in user group), and matches
a page being deleted by sysop then it creats a situation that a sysop deletion
activity gets unexpectedly partially blocked.The process happens some thing
like following
::*At drop down menu of page to be deleted sysop selects delete >> A
confirmation screen apears >> Sysop clicks 'Delete' Button >> Deletion activity
gets partialy blocked>>Media wiki message "Cannot delete page "$1" " page
apears via MediaWiki:Cannotdelete-title (This block can be unexpected to
unsuspecting sysop) [This bug expects improvement in the MediaWiki message as
requested above]>> This block is partial and a not real one because
actually if you press back button at the browser and again click delete the
page gets successfully deleted.(Probablly this happens because a warning
message stops you temporarily and when you click action (save or delete) it
executes asked action.
::Is this a problem ?Although not a serious one, still yes it is important
problem. we have more than 700 wiki's under wikimedia umbrella and all filter
managers and sysops may not be aware of this glitch.And can cause confusion and
mis-understanding.
::Why wikis usually do not complain about this,most of the filters exclude
sysop group indirectly by excluding usually Autoconfirmed users in user
group.But it is preferable to fix it as informed in above point.
