            Bug ID: 52712
           Summary: Cannot delete nor rename a regular article on
                    nl.wikipedia
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Page deletion
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]
    Classification: Unclassified
   Mobile Platform: ---

The article https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/St%C3%A9phane_de_Lobkowicz was
created 10 August 2013 17:31 (UTC) bij IP 109.131.196.6, which little later was
confirmed to belong to Carolus, a long time structural vandal, permanently
blocked from the Dutch Wikipedia. When we tried to delete the page, an error
occurred, with the error message saying:

"A database error has occurred. Did you forget to run maintenance/update.php
after upgrading? See:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading#Run_the_update_script
Query: DELETE FROM `categorylinks` WHERE cl_from = '3771450'
Function: LinksDeletionUpdate::doUpdate
Error: 1205 Lock wait timeout exceeded; try restarting transaction
(10.64.16.23)"

We were unable to delete the article. We neither could rename it; even
performing a rollback on the last edit generated an error.

Could someone help finding out how this on earth is possible?
