Description

Observed on https://m.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:Vlnhpdx1pzh78x9n?markasread=1138864&markasreadwiki=mediawikiwiki

This appears to be an issue in mediawiki.Title.

I'm not sure if this is a problem with Flow or mediawiki core at this point.

I can reproduce this in Firefox:

'resources/skins.minerva.scripts/talk.js': function (require, module) {
  module.exports = function (mobile) {
    var SKIN_MINERVA_TALK_SIMPLIFIED_CLASS = 'skin-minerva--talk-simplified',
      toast = mobile.toast,
      currentPage = mobile.currentPage(), // "Topic:Vlnhpdx1pzh78x9n"
      api = new mw.Api(),
      overlayManager = mobile.OverlayManager.getSingleton(),
      skin = mobile.Skin.getSingleton(),
      talkTitle = currentPage.titleObj.getTalkPage() ? currentPage.titleObj.getTalkPage().getPrefixedText()  : undefined;
      //                               ⬆

exports@2

if (permissions.talk) {
  require('./talk.js') (mobile);
}

So it looks like the issue is that there is no Topic_talk namespace registered with MediaWiki, and mw.Title assumes that all non-special namespaces can have a talk page.

T172146: Remove unchecked calls to Title::getTalkPage from extensions is for the php side, it seems there is no task for the js side

mw.Ttitle has canHaveTalkPage, but thats only check for non-special, so T165149: RFC: Drop requirement to define a talk namespace for every subject namespace is missing for the js side
