The tabs

  • Article
  • Discussion

relate to [[Stella Blómkvist]] and [[talk:Stella Blómkvist]]

Clicking on the first tab is like a loop in the user interface; nothing will change.

Database locked

The database is currently locked to new entries and other modifications, probably for routine database maintenance, after which it will be back to normal.

The administrator who locked it offered this explanation: This wiki has been closed per http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposals_for_closing_projects/Closure_of_Maori_Wikibooks

At the moment the following tabs are shown:

  • Page
  • Discussion
  • Edit
  • History
  • Move
  • Unwatch

remarks: This comments incorporates more issues:

  1. « Database locked » is taking the place where the *valid* « page title » is shown normaly. This is a user interface issue.
  1. The user rights are not applicable in this form at a locked database. Some tabs make no sense. I assume that only
    • Page
    • Discussion
    • Show source
    • History

      should be shown This is a user right managment issue.

Looking closer one might say this is not an error; this is only a warning.

Note to self: Use ErrorPageError, add $wgOut->setTitle(new BadTitle);

I'm not sure what is the exact problem that was reported here, but I clicked on all of the provided links and they all seem to behave as expected. This might be fixed.
