#10282 Strange wiki page change
Closed: Fixed 2 years ago by kevin. Opened 2 years ago by vondruch.

Describe what you would like us to do:


I have been notified about this wiki change:

https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=Changes/Openldap_25/Vagrant&oldid=628051

This does seem weird to me and I am not sure how to revert the change. The discussion link at Vagrant change also redirect to the new weird location.

When do you need this to be done by? (YYYY/MM/DD)



No scripts! I just broke it manually (and unintentionally).

Yesterday evening (Pacific time) I've created:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Openldap_25

But... Something went wrong, apparently.
I used https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/program_management/changes_guide/ as a reference.

The thing I was searching for some time - is a 'Create' button on the wiki.

This is the logic I followed:

  1. Open https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/EmptyTemplate
  2. Click View source and copy the content;
  3. 'How do I propose a new change?' - doesn't have the info about how to create the page so I thought it should be something intuitive...
  4. As all of the changes exist under '/Changes' page, I went to the page;
  5. I haven't found 'Create' button there so I clicked on 'Discussion'. And I saw the 'Create' button!
  6. So I clicked on the button and copy-pasted the template;
  7. After the job was done, I created the page;
  8. I saw it exists under 'Discussions' still (not the proper page). So I clicked 'Move';
  9. I moved the page to the right location - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Openldap_25

I wonder if I missed something obvious in the guide or the docs... And I'm sorry I messed it somehow.

ok. I see what happened here I think.

You moved "Talk:Changes" to the page you were wanting to make, but that moves all the talk pages for all things in the "Changes" space under the new page. ;(

I tried to move them back, but then it got into a weird redirect loop. ;(

How much we do care about these old talk pages?
I am not sure how to fix them currently. ;(

How much we do care about these old talk pages?

None. None care. In fact, if we could disable talk pages in the Changes namespace, I'd be very happy. I'd rather keep the discussion on the devel list.

https://pagure.io/fedora-infra/ansible/pull-request/848 should disallow editing them. I can land it after freeze. :)
