Bug ID: 53010
Summary: uninformative error message when adding to watchlist
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.22-git
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Watchlist
Assignee: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
Reporter: ry...@safe-mail.net
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
I noticed this on the English Wikipedia, which is running MediaWiki version
1.22wmf12 (bbaecbc). While attempting to use the five-pointed star icon to add
a page to my watch list, I often see the message:
An error occurred while changing your watchlist settings for "[the page
title]".
I've discovered that if I reload the page, the page can be watch-listed
successfully. The error never appears when I've just opened the page within a
few minutes, but it appears consistently when the page has been open for a long
time. I haven't worked out just how long that is, but it's more than ten
minutes and less than two days. If the underlying reason isn't known, it would
be helpful to suggest the work-around of reloading the page.
