Bug #: 29909
Summary: Modification date default properties are not created
for pages in namespaces recently added to SMW
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Semantic MediaWiki
AssignedTo: mar...@semantic-mediawiki.org
ReportedBy: fastgoldf...@gmail.com
CC: jeroen_ded...@yahoo.com
Classification: Unclassified
When a namespace is added to LocalSettings.php using the parameter
$smwgNamespacesWithSemanticLinks, the pages in the newly added namespace will
not be updated to have the default property "Modification date". This needs to
be corrected to add this property.
The only solution I know of is to manually click "Edit" on each page, and then
click "Save". That will work even if nothing is changed. If nothing is changed,
then the correct modification date will be shown even if it is a date from
before the namespace was added.
Since the manual solution to this is so simple, I think it will be
straightforward to automatically fix this problem using the maintenance script
in Special:SMWAdmin simply by making it repeat the manual solution above in an
automatic fashion for all EXISTING pages in the newly added namespace that do
not have a modification date property.
Since SMW has a bug with deleted pages
(https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29892), it is important to make
sure that the pages really exist before doing this procedure.
