I asked: >> What is the proper way to make an empty edit of an existing article >> programmatically, in a maintenance script?
Bartosz Dziewonski replied: >I'd look at maintenance/edit.php if I were you :) Thanks. I just tried the technique in edit.php and it worked great... at first. I merely changed these lines, which get text from stdin: # Read the text $text = $this->getStdin( Maintenance::STDIN_ALL ); $content = ContentHandler::makeContent( $text, $wgTitle ); to reuse the original page content: # Read the text $content = $page->getContent(); and it produced a null edit as desired. But for some mysterious reason, the script hangs if the article contains a scaled image ANYWHERE in it, such as: [[File:Example.jpg|202px]] Any idea why that would happen? Thank you very much, DanB _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
