Tested on: MediaWiki 1.21.1 Email notifications regarding changes made by a user with no User: page display a blank instead of user's Full Name (or username). For example: --- Dear Admiral Ackbar, The Foobar Wiki page CinnamonBun has been changed on 2013-05-31 by , see http://wiki.example.org/CinnamonBun for the current revision. --- If the User: page exists, the Full Name appears: --- Dear Admiral Ackbar, The Foobar Wiki page CinnamonBun has been changed on 2013-05-31 by Princess Leia, see http://wiki.example.org/CinnamonBun for the current revision. --- I haven't done rigorous testing here, so I'm not sure what happens if the User: page exists but the 'Full Name' is not set... probably good to check that case as well. Danke.
Do you have any test case sir?
(In reply to comment #1) > Do you have any test case sir? I can write one up, I guess. Are you unable to repro the bug? Off the top of my head: 1) install mediawiki 2) Create accounts 'foo' and 'bar' (with full names 'Foobie Fool' and 'Barbie Barn', respectively). Make sure they have associated email addresses so that they may get notifications. Do *not* create User:xxx pages for them. 3) Log-in as 'foo' and create page /Test (automagically watching that page) 4) Log-in as 'bar' and edit page /Test Result: User foo will receive a notification email as described in my previous comment, with what looks like incorrect/missing variable substitution (?). Expected: Complete sentences in the email notification :-)
Thankyou sir. anyway im interested in this bug.Can you please assign it to me?
(In reply to comment #3) > Thankyou sir. > anyway im interested in this bug.Can you please assign it to me? Hi Vishnu, I don't have high enough privs in this Bugzilla installation to assign this bug to you, but perhaps Andrew Klapper (who did some triaging of the bug) can help you out with that :-)
Can anyone help me for getting more about the issue and how to fix this?
Vishnu Nk: It's more likely if you ask clear and specific questions. Also see http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
Sir,Where I can find the file to change the code and fix this issue?
You could use some strings from comment 0 that are not variable and search for them yourself in a local copy of the codebase, in order to find the place(s).
Thank you sir.will be working on it

I cannot reproduce this bug. Looks like its fixed already. The email notif I got in the above scenario contained the Name perfectly. Note that I had given the Full name field completely for both the users.

Hi Tony, Against what version of MediaWiki are you testing? I'm still seeing these results with the MediaWiki instance we're running for TDF/LibreOffice. Danke.

I am on the development version (1.23 alpha). This was reported for 1.21.0. Do you get the same, even when Full Name was given during a/c creation ?

I'll try to find some time to test a dev version soon. Can you verify on current stable (1.22, I think?)

Can you verify on > current stable (1.22, I think?) Verified on Current stable release 1.22.4. I get this email Dear Foo, The test page FOO has been changed on 23 March 2014 by Bar, see http://localhost/mediawiki/index.php/FOO for the current revision. See http://localhost/mediawiki/index.php?title=FOO&diff=next&oldid=2 to view this change. See http://localhost/mediawiki/index.php?title=FOO&diff=0&oldid=2 for all changes since your last visit. Editor's summary: - Contact the editor: mail: http://localhost/mediawiki/index.php/Special:EmailUser/Bar wiki: http://localhost/mediawiki/index.php/User:Bar even though User:Bar is redlink
Given this hasn't seen any new activity of late, can we close as WFM or WONTFIX?
