Bug #: 38798
Summary: Garbage in URL after saving an edit on the English
Wikipedia
Product: Wikimedia
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General/Unknown
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: b...@mzmcbride.com
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
When I save a page on the English Wikipedia, I'm currently redirected to a URL
that contains incomprehensible garbage. Example after editing a section on a
user talk page:
<https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Kirill_Lokshin&pe=1&#You.27re_invited_to_Masterpiece_Museum_Edit-a-Thon.21>.
The URL has been rewritten from example.com/wiki/ syntax to the far worse
example.com/w/index.php syntax. It now also includes "&pe=1", which makes sense
to no one.
URLs are very important. They're heavily passed around on the Internet. Unless
you have a really good reason to be messing around with them and inserting
garbage into them, PLEASE DON'T DO IT.
I believe this particular garbage is coming from the E3 team. I see absolutely
no reason it should be doing this for my user account.
