Summary: <ref name="someReferenceName">some reference</ref>
creates rows in pagelinks with a pl_title = ''
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Windows XP
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal
Component: Cite
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Using Cite and <ref> tags invalid rows are created in the pagelinks table.
These rows are invalid because they have a pl_title = ''.
This -may- break Special:MostLinkedPages page (a fix was put in to stop invalid
titles breaking the page) - see #18943, #17751 and #17713 for more information
on this flavor of issue.
To identify broken pages:
SELECT page.*
FROM
wikidb.page page left join
wikidb.pagelinks p on page.page_id = p.pl_from
where p.pl_title = '';
To reproduce:
1. Run the query above to ensure you have no broken page titles
2. Edit a page and add <ref name="test">http://google.com, a search
engine</ref>
3. Re-run the query
I'm not confident this is a bug with the Cite extension or whether it is the
engine but thought it most appropriate here.
I am assuming blank rows are an issue because issue #17713 says "Invalid
database rows worry me" in regards to rows with an empty pl_title
