Description Thor Malmjursson 2010-12-30 02:23:40 UTC
Hi. I just thought I'd leave this for you, It's not a bug per se, more a comment about the way the prototype is set up.  I was curious seeing the site keep popping up while logging in at enwp and went to look.  I tried to login there, and got told in no uncertain terms 

"You are viewing this page on prototype.wikimedia.org, which might be a proxy or phishing site. This site can intercept your password; you are strongly advised to log in from en.wikipedia.org."

Prototype or not, that is not a great message to be sending out from a wiki (even though it's not a real one) hosted on a WMF server :)   

People seeing that might get the wrong idea and shy away, and that wouldn't be a good thing in my opinion, especially when the site is associated to the Usability Initiative.

Just my 2ยข worth.

At what URL did you see this message?

MZMcBride, sorry - I forgot to note the URL in the bug.

http://prototype.wikimedia.org/en-wp/index.php?title=Special%3AAllMessages&prefix=loginend&filter=all&lang=en

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Loginend&action=raw

Something's borked about the code or config, I can't seem to view history or source (even action=raw) for any page i've tried.

Since the same wording exists upstream at en.wp i assume that it was just a db copy or dump import of en.wp and that message was never changed.

Fatal error: Call to undefined method MediaWiki::getAction() in /srv/org/wikimedia/prototype/extensions/InputBox/InputBox.hooks.php on line 55

Fixed by running svn up on the en-wp directory, apparently hadn't been done in a long time. Also note that the d-en prototype runs off the REL1_17 branch, so you might find that more useful.

That's exactly what happened, yes. Fixed: http://prototype.wikimedia.org/en-wp/index.php?title=MediaWiki%3ALoginend&action=historysubmit&diff=8065&oldid=7644
