Description

I tried creating a Hiera config page on wikitech with the Hiera:Project/host/Hostname pattern, and got this: There is currently no text in this page. You can search for this page title in other pages, or search the related logs, but you do not have permission to create this page.

When I try to create it like wikitech.wikimedia.org/Hiera:Project - it works fine and I can edit.

Specific links used:

Cannot edit: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Hiera:Dashiki/host/dashiki-staging-01
Can edit: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Hiera:Dashiki

Does action=edit work anyway?

@Krenair No. This is what happens:

Permission error
You do not have permission to create pages, for the following reason:

Only global cloudadmins and project admins for project Dashiki/host/dashiki-staging-01 can edit this page

(I am an admin - https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Nova_Resource:Dashiki)

Yeah, same problem for me on the deployment-bastion page. I managed it at one point, might've been my cloudadmin right around that time though: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hiera:Deployment-prep/host/deployment-bastion&action=history

That should take effect when wikitech updates to a version including the above patch.

ReleaseTaggerBot added a project: MW-1.27-release (WMF-deploy-2016-01-12_(1.27.0-wmf.10)).Dec 18 2015, 1:01 AM

@Krenair - I still don't see that I can edit - https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Hiera:Dashiki/host/dashiki-staging-01. Not sure if this is fixed yet.

Oops, we need to enable subpages in that namespace.
