Bug #: 28833
Summary: Exporting nonexistent page returns broken XML file,
should show error message
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Export/Import
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified

Broken XML file with no page, only siteinfo
Saw this behavior after a support question in #mediawiki . The person asking
for help had put "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foo"; in the Special:Export text
box instead of simply "Foo". MediaWiki looked for a page called
"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foo"; , didn't find one, and output an XML file
(attached) with no pages, just siteinfo. Reportedly (I didn't test this),
Special:Import barfs on that.
We should show an error/warning message for nonexistent titles instead of
silently dropping them, and in no case should the exporter produce XML that the
importer can't work with.
