Description:

Not knowing whether http://de.labs.wikimedia.org/ has the same configuration as http://de.wikipedia.org/ (I think the lab site notice is obsolete!), I am afraid this bug could occur on Wikipedia, too.

When clicking at http://de.labs.wikimedia.org/wiki/Hauptseite on "zur aktuellen Version") you come to
http://de.labs.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hauptseite&stable=0

But this stable=0 variant is an older, cached revision of the page (25304)! Furthermore there is the comparison link ("vergleiche"), that link will lead to
http://de.labs.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hauptseite&oldid=25304&diff=cur that is comparing the much older version with the current sighted one! The address should be
http://de.labs.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hauptseite&oldid=25324&diff=cur (!)

And the article should not be shown in a cached version if ?stable=0 is given


Version: unspecified
Severity: major
URL: http://de.labs.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hauptseite&stable=0

When purging the page
http://de.labs.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hauptseite&stable=0&action=purge
the correct revision is shown!

What is funny is, that the extended text at ...?stable=0 is stating:
"2 Versionen stehen noch zur Sichtung an."

Those two revisions "~yet" to be sighted are those in between ;-)

Now there is a difference between /wiki/...?stable=0 and /w/...&stable=0:

a. http://de.labs.wikimedia.org/wiki/Hauptseite?stable=0
b. http://de.labs.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hauptseite&stable=0

a shows the latest rev, b still that old, wrong one from above.

When doing
http://de.labs.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hauptseite&stable=0&action=purge
it's ok, too! A cache effect?

Note that changes on SVN do not automatically affect the site. Someone has to sync them.

Sorry, just thought so; as the rest is working correct there, now.
