Viewing a deleted message
Closed, DuplicatePublicBUG REPORT

Description

Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):
Hello. In MediaWiki, in particular, in Absurdopedia, When viewing the code of the deleted "MediaWiki:" the engine asks for the right to "deletedhistory", but only opens the "editinterface".
To reproduce this situation, you need:
*Download version MediaWiki 1.39.7

  • Have the deletedhistory permission (ask the admin, they will provide)
  • Find deleted message under the MediaWiki: namespace
  • Press the button "View / Restore" ("Просмотреть/восстановить")

What happens?: Flashes: ’Access rights error. This action can perform: Бароны, Рыцари, Чародеи, Маркизы, Короли.’

What should have happened instead?: ’Access rights error: This action can be performed by... Marquises, Sorcerers, Kings.’

Software version (on Special:Version page; skip for WMF-hosted wikis like Wikipedia): MediaWiki 1.39.7 or 1.39.6.

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

Hi @Wimajo15, thanks for taking the time to report this! Unfortunately this Wikimedia Phabricator task lacks some information.
If you have time and can still reproduce the situation: Please add a more complete description to this task. That should be

  • a clear and complete list of exact steps to reproduce the situation, step by step, so that nobody needs to guess or interpret how you performed each step,
  • what happens after performing these steps to reproduce,
  • what you expected to happen instead,
  • a full link to a web address where the issue can be seen,
  • the web browser(s) and web browser version(s) that you tested.

In some situations it can also be helpful to know if you see the same behavior when you are not logged in, and your exact MediaWiki version (if it is not on a Wikimedia website) which is shown on Special:Version, and your exact PHP version, etc.

You can edit the task description by clicking Edit Task. Ideally, a good description should allow any other person to follow these steps (without having to interpret steps) and see the same results. Problems that others can reproduce can get fixed faster. Thanks again!

This still lacks clear steps to reproduce, see my previous comment. Asking random unknown admins of random websites is not feasible, thus closing this task as not actionable.

Hi, what do you mean by "Flashes"? That the error is only shown for a short moment, but the error should be shown longer?

And/or is the list "Бароны, Рыцари, Чародеи, Маркизы, Короли" wrong, because your list under "What should have happened instead" is different and has 3 groups instead of 5 groups?

Sorry, I'm just Russian and use Google Translate.

And after correcting the error there should be EXACTLY three groups.
