prop=links returns a title=""
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=262902484 is version of the page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Outline_of_knowledge)

<pl ns="0" title=""/> is in the results

Cant find anything obvious on the page that would cause that, so not sure if its a page or a MW bug...

Either way, the API shouldnt return a result with no title... (IMHO at least)

Narrowed test case to <ref>[[A]]</ref>. This is a bug in MediaWiki or Cite, where _any_ link in a <ref> causes such an entry (always missing): <page ns="0" title="" missing="" />

Let roan close this bug though, he may want to have something handle null titles rather than mark INVALID.

marking as dupe of bug 16965, same problems, more details on that bug though
