AbuseFilter - unable to modify existing filters or save new filters
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

I will grant a limited ability to test out modifying or create new filters but not to existing filters set to private to prevent those from being compromised. I have tested numerous times on different filters to change things and create new ones but the page just resets upon clicking save/publish; returns to initial state prior to making changes. The extension files are identical to latest version from Git.

Hi @SpookyGhost8, thanks for taking the time to report this!
Unfortunately this report lacks some information. If you have time and can still reproduce the problem, please add a more complete description to this report (a list of steps to reproduce which leave no room for interpretation what to do, describing actual results and expected results after performing the steps to reproduce, attaching or linking to a public testcase, exact MediaWiki version information, etc).
Ideally, exact and clear steps to reproduce should allow any other person to follow these steps (without having to interpret those steps) and see the same results. Problems that others can reliably reproduce can get fixed faster. Thanks!

running MediaWiki 1.28.2, I can still reproduce the problems as further detailed below.
Link to wiki: http://www.hypoverse.com/wiki/Main_Page I have reopened creating accounts, let me know so i can grant access to creating public test filters.
I have tried to create a test filter with conditions

action='edit'

marked checkboxes

Those all reset and were blanked upon clicking save filter.

When modifying existing filters, marking new checkboxes and clicking save/publish resulted in initial state. By initial state, any checkboxes marked were unmarked.

The overall problem is

  1. the filter conditions box gets blanked or reset to initial state upon clicking save filter regardless of filter existing prior
  2. anything added to the notes section is also blanked upon clicking save filter regardless of filter existing prior
  3. removing all contents from notes section is reset to initial state upon clicking save filter regardless of filter existing prior
  4. existing checkboxes are correctly marked contrary to existing bug report,
  5. marking new checkboxes gets unmarked upon clicking save filter
  6. unmarking checkboxes previously marked upon clicking save filter results in reset to initial state.
SpookyGhost8 claimed this task.

The error was in relation to a rewrite rule in .htaccess
