[mediawiki][bug] is_redirect not reliable - Wikitech-l

4 Oct 2006

Hello,

in at least the 20060915 frwiki dump, the is_redirect column (in the
page table) is 0 for a wide variety of articles where it should be 1
(first one of them is page_id=204, then 758, 917, ...).

These articles all have in common that they had a life before being
declared as redirects, and when they were, the is_redirect field was
apparently not updated to reflect the new state.

Sorry if it is a known bug (is there a public BTS for mediawiki?).

Regards,
Colin
