Bug ID: 64504
Summary: Notification involving suppressed revision produces
erroneous link
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Echo

If you get a notification involving a revision which was suppressed before you
saw it, you get this message:
Example mentioned you on the Example talk page in "This page revision has been
suppressed.".
Links in the above are
<Example> → User:Example
<Example talk page> → Talk:Example
<This page revision has been suppressed.> →
Talk:Example#This_page_revision_has_been_suppressed.
The suppression message is getting treated as a section ID, trailing full stop
and all, which is obviously incorrect.
There doesn't seem to be much point in delivering such a notification, but by
the looks of it that would be complicated. Echo appears to be pulling the page
title at the time the user asks to see the notification, by which point it's
gone. Perhaps Special:RevisionDelete could pass suppressed revision IDs to Echo
at the time of action, saying "cancel any unsent notifications relating to this
revision"? Seems like it might take some work to do though.
Failing that, I'd suggest a correction of:
Example mentioned you on the Example talk page, but that revision has been
suppressed.
