Summary: viewing diff of redirect without specifying oldid
makes wgPagename wrong
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: Normal
Component: General/Unknown
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: c...@tools.wikimedia.de
When this diff link is loaded:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alien%20Quadrilogy&diff=343495013
the wgPagename variable (easily visible in the source) says
wgPageName="Alien_(franchise)",
That's the name of the target page, not the redirect page which is being
viewed.
Simultaneously, this bug makes all the navigation links at the top of the page
wrong. For example, the link in the "article" tab points to:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien_(franchise)
I noticed this in the Vector skin and checked that it also happens with the
monobook skin.
It seems to happen on every redirect if the specific syntax above is used to
generate the diff. If another syntax is used:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alien_Quadrilogy&diff=343495013&oldid=343382400
then everything works correctly.
The syntax of the link at the top should be correct, according to
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Index.php . One reason that links like the ones
at the top are needed is because the API output for watchlists only includes
the revid, not the oldid.
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=watchlist&wlallrev&wlprop=ids|title|timestamp|user|comment
Adding 'redirect=no' to the URL does fix the problem, but according to the
docs, redirect=no "has effect only on action=view and action=render and only if
neither oldid nor diff is given," but I am passing the diff parameter in the
URL.
