Moving a page marks the resulting redirect as patrolled but not reviewed
Open, Needs TriagePublicBUG REPORT

Description

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

  • Don't have autopatrol right
  • Move a page from title OldTitle to title NewTitle

What happens?:

  • OldTitle redirect is marked as patrolled but unreviewed (out of sync)

What should have happened instead?:

  • OldTitle redirect should be marked as unpatrolled and unreviewed (in sync)

Software version (skip for WMF-hosted wikis like Wikipedia):

Other information (browser name/version, screenshots, etc.):

  • Looks like MediaWiki core defaults to marking the OldTitle revision as patrolled. Therefore, we should add code to the page move hook (or any hook that happens after the redirect is created and marked as patrolled) that unpatrols the newest revision of the OldPage redirect.
  • This ticket has to do with the difference between patrolling vs reviewing. Please make sure you understand the two. More info at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:New_pages_patrol#Technical_details, bullet #6, "Patrol vs review"

  • Overall, this is pretty minor, but keeping patrol vs review in sync is a worthwhile goal. When they get out of sync it is quite unintuitive, especially when going through the patrol and page curation logs.
