Change Details

We are using HTML dumps based on https://github.com/wikimedia/htmldumper to test RESTBase changes in staging. While testing this, we encountered several invalid titles that contained the substring '&': - Super8_&_Tab - Lilo_&_Stitch:_The_Series Those titles were returned by the `allpages` API end point. This could either be a broken encoding pass in the Action API, or a corruption in the page table. Similar titles are apparently requested from the RESTBaseUpdateJob, which might point towards this being a bug in a common title escape method.
