Description Kunal Mehta (Legoktm) 2013-05-07 03:28:50 UTC
03:04, 29 December 2009 The Man in Question (talk | contribs) moved page RT - The Life and Music of Richard Thompson to rt:The Life and Music of Richard Thompson (revert)

Because of the rt: interwiki prefix, this page is now inacessible. Usually we can get the page id with a toolserver query, but in this case nothing.

mysql> select page_id, page_title from page where page_title like "RT:%" limit 10;
Empty set (1 min 33.38 sec)

The page should ideally be moved back to [[RT - The Life and Music of Richard Thompson]].

Page was found at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RT-_The_Life_and_Music_of_Richard_Thompson .  However, it's still inaccessible via search, as the interwiki prefix takes prescience over the article title.

Im reopening. Such a pagemove should not have been allowed to take place (even if it really didnt. Something is failing incorrectly here)

The page move was in 2009, which was probably before the rt: prefix was added.

And since then a maintenance script has been run that renames pages like these. This one was fixed to RT-. Though this script leaves no log entry, it can be confirmed by looking at the links MediaWiki generates to this title. RT- isn't showing a page by title of RT: the page is actually named RT-. The self-reference links (view, edit, history etc.) on: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RT-_The_Life_and_Music_of_Richard_Thompson

all link to RT-.

Why did you reopen this bug?
Comment 8 MZMcBride 2013-05-07 04:46:16 UTC
Heh, never mind!
