Summary: Special:OrphanedPages does not list pages referenced
only by themselves
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.16-svn
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: Special pages
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
The Special:OrphanedPages is supposed to list all "pages not linked from any
other page". I noticed that the "other" part is not true: if a page links to
itself, it won't show up in this list and it's not linked from *other* pages.
Example:
I create a new page "test" and I include just the following wikitext:
[[test]]
Next time the orphaned pages is updated, this page won't show up there because
there's one record in the pagelinks table where the "to" page is the page with
title "test", despite the fact that the "from" page is also the "test" page.
I.e., the select should check [AND pl_from != pl_to] (or something like that; I
don't have the table struct here right now)
According to the intended concept, I believe what people are expecting is that
all pages not linked from somewhere ELSE should be listed, hence this bug
submission.
Thanks!
