I never would've thought to use the query module for that. Thanks for pointing that out! Probably needs a bit better documentation somewhere.

Yes, he said as much to me, I think. There are a few features that can block page creation (create-protection, title blacklists, AbuseFilter); having a dry-run mode of action=edit might be nice. I would think the people doing unit tests would need something like this (if they ever test on a live site). It's easy enough to create test pages on your own wiki, I suppose, but creating nearly invalid titles on a live project usually causes screams. :-) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
