Description:
Recently Jamesday locked the database temporarily for some maintenance work. At
the same time, I began an attempt to create a new redirect, using the link

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Luchador_Wrestling&action=edit

On the page displayed, there was a "Database locked" title, and the standard
database locked message. Normal.

However, in the textarea field was the raw source of MediaWiki:Noarticletext. It
should have displayed nothing.

Version: 1.7.x
Severity: minor

Still an issue in 1.6?

Don't know, the requirement that the databases be locked makes it difficult to test.

Give me the particulars, and I'll attempt to reproduce locally. The database was
locked prior to the editing, right?

I believe so.

As you can see from the date, I reported this a year ago, so my memory of
anything beyond what I reported is a bit lacking.

Kicking back up since it's still a-lurking. Reproduced accidentally while
upgrading a wiki the other day.

Seems to have been fixed some time ago.
