MediaWiki deletion fails: deleted twice, deleting wrong article...
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

I have experienced a strange thing on cs: Wikipedia:
On 21:48, 22. 3. 2006, Zirland moved a recently created article [[Český stát za
vlády jagelonců]] to [[Český stát za vlády Jagelonců]]
[http://cs.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Speci%C3%A1ln%C3%AD%3ALog&type=move&user=&page=%C4%8Cesk%C3%BD+st%C3%A1t+za+vl%C3%A1dy+jagelonc%C5%AF]
and then (21:49) deleted (more exactly, tried to delete) the resulting redirect
[http://cs.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Speci%C3%A1ln%C3%AD%3ALog&type=delete&user=&page=%C4%8Cesk%C3%BD+st%C3%A1t+za+vl%C3%A1dy+jagelonc%C5%AF].
But, in fact, the destination article has been deleted. When I looked on the
destination article (the next day), I have seen a deleted page, Special:Undelete
has shown three deleted revisions, but "no relevant entry has been found in the
deletion log" (so I had no idea who or why deleted the page).

The situation has already been repaired by Zirland by undeleting the article and
deleting the redirect one more time, the only current sign of something rotten
is the deletion log showing _only the undeletion_ of the page
[http://cs.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Speci%C3%A1ln%C3%AD%3ALog&type=delete&user=&page=%C4%8Cesk%C3%BD+st%C3%A1t+za+vl%C3%A1dy+Jagelonc%C5%AF].

Seems to be some kind of lag between orders.

A probably related problem: The same page deleted twice.

As this bug is two years old, not happening currently, and quite hardly reproducible anyways, there is quite a chance it has been already fixed, and there is not much point in keeping it open (the software has changed significantly since then).

Resolving as WORKSFORME.
