IP masking: Minerva links to non-existent user page
Closed, DuplicatePublicBUG REPORT

Description

NOTE: see T328799 for clarity on how to approach this.

Since Minerva has its own unique menu handling code, it is not compatible with the IP masking work out of the box.

Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):

  • Enable IP masking $wgAutoCreateTempUser['enabled'] = true;
  • Make an edit on any page as an anonymous user
  • go to Minerva skin in mobile mode

What happens?:
There is a link to a user page that does not exist (IP masked users do not have user pages)

What should have happened instead?:

Not sure.
Either:

  1. The link should not be present. If we want to identify the IP masked username, we'll need to do it some other way.
  2. We should link to some other page.

This can likely be merged into T335546 but there's an open question there about what this should actually link to.
