Created attachment 12502 [details] The unexpected message apearing to unsuspecting sysop Message " Cannot delete page "$1" " by " MediaWiki:Cannotdelete-title " misleads sysops in certain specific situation. *Please update it as below: "Unable delete page "$1" an edit filter's triggered warning message has blocked deletion process untill you press back on your browser and repeat/click delete action again.Afterwards you consider for edit filter no. "x" for excluding Sysops in user group by inclusion of syntax: & !("sysop" in user_groups) " *The reason: Please see bug no. 49355.Relevant portion is given below : *In sysop's regular page deletion activity: At drop down menu of page to be deleted sysop selects delete >> A confirmation screen apears >> Sysop clicks 'Delete' Button >> Page gets deleted. *By ommission if any edit filter having active Warning message does not exclude sysops in user group (usually Autoconfirmed users in user group), and matches a page being deleted by sysop then it creats a situation that a sysop deletion activity gets unexpectedly partially blocked.The process happens some thing like following ::*At drop down menu of page to be deleted sysop selects delete >> A confirmation screen apears >> Sysop clicks 'Delete' Button >> Deletion activity gets partialy blocked>>Media wiki message "Cannot delete page "$1" " page apears via MediaWiki:Cannotdelete-title (This block can be unexpected to unsuspecting sysop) [This bug expects improvement in the MediaWiki message as requested above]>> This block is partial and a not real one because actually if you press back button at the browser and again click delete the page gets successfully deleted.(Probablly this happens because a warning message stops you temporarily and when you click action (save or delete) it executes asked action. ::Is this a problem ?Although not a serious one, still yes it is important problem. we have more than 700 wiki's under wikimedia umbrella and all filter managers and sysops may not be aware of this glitch.And can cause confusion and mis-understanding. ::Why wikis usually do not complain about this,most of the filters exclude sysop group indirectly by excluding usually Autoconfirmed users in user group.But it is preferable to fix it as informed in above point.
