Description vojtech.dostal@wikimedia.cz 2014-11-02 15:00:20 UTC 
Our teacher discovered he cannot assign a second article to a student (when he clicks the page refreshes but the article is not there). I tried to replicate it and it seems that the addition of 2nd (or 3rd) article is impossible when any of the preceding articles was non-existent at the moment of addition. 

It happens on both Czech and English Wikipedia.

Try it out for yourself here:

try adding a non-existent article name to "Sage Ross (WMF)"
Comment 1 Sage Ross 2014-11-02 15:11:58 UTC 
This is closely related to bug 57608. It happens because the extension does not have a very good way of handling non-existent articles, since it normally tracks articles by their page ID -- and non-existent articles don't have one.

:-(

I have never experienced this and thought it is something new, sorry. It comes as a surprise ot me that this bug has been known for a year - but that's life. Thanks for attention:)

No need to apologize! It's good to have this issue tracked in a bug. It's related, but not quite exactly the same, as what the other bug describes.
