rebuildall.php maintenance script adds RC log entries (e.g. "Patrol Log") that would not normally be there
Open, LowPublic
Actions

Description

I ran the rebuildall.php script from the command line. When it rebuilt the recent changes table, it created several "log" entries for actions that would not normally show in recent changes.

For example, it added several "Patrol Log" entries, which are normally suppressed. In addition, my wiki has two custom logs that I use, and do NOT normally show on RC. These entries also showed in RC after I ran rebuildall.php

Ok, so it looks like the real culprit is rebuildrecentchanges.php, which is called from rebuildall.php. Bug #18364 mentions this in the comments. Should we close this, or merge it in?

Brad: Not sure exactly what you mean by "Should we close this, or merge it in?"
Could you elaborate?

We have two bugs that are tracking this same issue, although the other bug only mentions it in the comments. Should we merge the two reports?

I'd say it's very similar.

matej_suchanek mentioned this in T20364: rebuildrecentchanges should not generate entries for rc-suppressing log events (e.g. patrol).Aug 2 2018, 10:51 AM
