Bug #: 29123
Summary: Section edit links shown to anon users even if they
can't edit
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: User interface
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Reported on #mediawiki:
<aurimai> Hi! Mediawiki 1.17 at revision 88718, anonymous users see [edit]
links, although in LocalSettings.php the option
$wgDefaultUserOptions['editsection'] = false; I have not a slightest idea what
it can be. It seems to have appeared after I checked out from SVN last time.
<aurimai> I have a private wiki. In order to edit the users have to log in.
Anonymous users are still disabled to edit, but they see the [edit] link.
<aurimai> Vyznev, I confirm, there are no [edit] links on talk pages.
<aurimai> Vyznev, $wgUseFileCache is not defined in LocalSettings.php
I also observe similar symptoms on my own wiki, which currently runs r80786;
however, in my case, turning off $wgUseFileCache fixes it, so I suspect that
there may be two separate bugs involved. Alas, I'm unable to debug this more
thoroughly right now.
Ps. Dupe search turns up the old bug 26458: "Section edit links appear on pages
that user does not have right to edit"; it might be possible that the recent
regression is related to the same code.
