List of steps to reproduce (step by step, including full links if applicable):
- A) set up mediawiki (1.36.1) using postgres database (tested with 12.7)
- B) let a user watch a page
- this leads typically to 2 entries in the table 'watchlist' which differ only in the wl_namespace (one for 'talk' and one for e.g. 'main')
- C) run the upgrade under /mw-config
What happens?:
The upgrade fails because in PostgresUpdater.php the line
[ 'changeField', 'watchlist', 'wl_namespace', 'INT', 0 ]
will lead the updater to set all namespaces in watchlist to 0.
That alone is questionable. However the crash happens because now there is a unique index violation for the
index wl_user (wl_user, wl_namespace, wl_title).
What should have happened instead?:
I think the line should be:
[ 'changeField', 'watchlist', 'wl_namespace', 'INT', '' ]
