When subpages are disabled for user pages, I get the following error on user subpages: Tried to load block with invalid type Backtrace: #0 C:\wamp\www\mw\includes\Block.php(1010): Block->newLoad('Robin/subpage') #1 C:\wamp\www\mw\includes\Article.php(646): Block::newFromTarget(NULL, 'Robin/subpage') #2 C:\wamp\www\mw\includes\Article.php(570): Article->getRobotPolicy('view') #3 C:\wamp\www\mw\includes\Wiki.php(458): Article->view() #4 C:\wamp\www\mw\includes\Wiki.php(230): MediaWiki->performAction(Object(Article)) #5 C:\wamp\www\mw\includes\Wiki.php(606): MediaWiki->performRequest() #6 C:\wamp\www\mw\includes\Wiki.php(517): MediaWiki->main() #7 C:\wamp\www\mw\index.php(57): MediaWiki->run() #8 {main}
Created attachment 8767 [details] Working patch The callback indicates that MW is running a quick check on the user who "owns" the page to decide if it should be indexed or not by search bots (because the user viewing the page could be a search bot). Since subpages are now turned off, MW assumes that the user "owning" the page is called "Robin/subpage". As usernames should never contain a forwards slash, it should be simple enough to check for the presence of a forwards slash, and, if it is found, conclude that the username being passed is in fact not a username at all but an old subpage. The correct username can then be extracted. This is what the attached patch does.
Thank you for the patch. I applied it in r91886.
