Description Danny B. 2011-09-10 16:43:42 UTC
New pages disappear from Special:NewPages under certain conditions:

Steps to reproduce:
# Create "Foo"
  (it appears on the NewPages list)
# Create "Bar"
  (it appears on the NewPages list above Foo)
# Move "Foo" to "Qux"
# Delete "Foo"
Neither Foo nor Qux appear on NewPages

This seems similar to bug 30368 / bug 30470.

Note, I do not believe this is a regression in 1.18 (behaviour is present in 1.16 in my tests) so it may not block bug 28425

Yep, this is old news.

Ok, so it's old news.  Anyone have an idea for how it could be fixed?

See also bug 17463 which touches a related issue. The simple way to fix this would be to mess around with entries in the recentchanges table when page moves happen, but doing so is a bit controversial/feels wrong. I suppose a page move could just also add an extra "new page created" entry, but that also seems odd.
