Bug #: 31674
Summary: can't edit watchlist if it contains a page in the
"Special" space
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Watchlist
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: fur.hew...@gmail.com
Classification: Unclassified
(at least one) older versions allowed entering pages in the "Special:" space
(-1) into the watchlist. with version 1.18, trying to edit the watchlist looks
for the corresponding talk page of all the pages in current list, and since
"Special:" pages do not have talk pages associated with them, this creates the
following exception when trying to use "View and edit watchlis":
the problem can be reproduced by using the API to insert a page in the
"Special:" space into the watchlist, e.g. by running the following javascript
code:
<code>
$.post(mw.util.wikiScript('api'), {action: 'watch', title:
'Special:Recentchanges', token: mw.user.tokens.get('watchToken')})
</code>
(you'll need to run it again with "unwatch" to make your watchlist editable
again).
here is the exception:
<pre>
getTalk does not make any sense for given namespace -1
