Description

The disclaimer link at the bottom of every page (at least in Modern and MonoBook) points to the wrong URL: it points to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disclaimerpage, instead of evaluating the content of MediaWiki:Disclaimerpage and accordingly pointing to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:General_disclaimer. The same is true for the Aboutpage and Privacypage links. Note that the Aboutpage link in the sidebar is fine.

Marking as major because this may have legal implications.

Version: 1.16.x

AFAIK caused by r51819.

disclaimers link calls:

return $this->footerLink( 'disclaimers', 'disclaimerpage' );

footerLink takes:

$title = Title::newFromText( $page );

where $page is the second parameter. It doesn't call wfMsgForContent to get what the message is so just links to Disclaimerpage.

Then again I could be wrong :)

Fixed in r51882.
