Author: med.wiki

Description:
In my watchlist there is an article with an empty title (probably not empty as it is
between Zététique and École nationale des ponts et chaussées, but not displayable at
least). When i try to remove it
using http://fr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Watchlist&magic=yes i get:
"Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object
in /usr/local/apache/common-local/php-1.4/includes/SpecialWatchlist.php on line 45".

Thanks.

Attached:

It's supposed to gracefully avoid dying when given invalid titles, but the check was outdated /
bogus and itself caused an error. That's fixed. (Invalid junk may still be in the database
though.)
