Pages incorrectly marked as manually patrolled in certain situations
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

To reproduce on enwiki:

  1. Create a redirect using an account that is not autopatrolled.
  2. Edit the page to make it a non-redirect using an account that is autopatrolled.
  3. Observe that a log entry has been created claiming that the page creation from step 1 was marked as patrolled (not "automatically marked as patrolled").

I suspect this is due to PageTriage, specifically that this code is erroneously marking page creations as patrolled when that was never intended by the editor.

Confirmed in betalabs - removing a redirect from a page that has to be reviewed, marks the page as patrolled.

Interesting that after step#1 - a user who is not Autopatrolled creates a new page and adds a redirect - 'Recent changes' display that the page needs to be patrolled. But Special:NewPagesFeed does not list that page.
