Description Meik 2009-05-06 04:07:21 UTC
When i go to Special:Allpages and select a namespace, the value in the select-to inputbox is wrong.
For example i have a namespace like table with following pages
PAFPRM	
PAFPTE	
PAFPTP
PAGREL	
PAPOFR	
PASSEI	
PAVTHI	
VTPBOX	
WIDADO	
WISOIN

Then there is a second namespace like install with this pages
MySQL Datenbank Replikation einrichten	
Neue Benutzer beantragen	
SuSE Online Update geht nicht
Tomcat Beispiel Konfiguration	
Treiber dc7800	
Treiber nc2510p
Vista	
WSUS
Windows Image aufspielen
Windows Image erstellen	
Windows Server 2008	

Now i go to Special:Allpages and select the first namespace. it works fine. Then i select the second namespace and in the select-to inputbox stands Vista. The pages wich starts with "W" won't shown automaticly.

The fields must be cleaned out by hand when changing namespaces... yuck.
Comment 2 Tim Starling 2009-06-01 16:47:04 UTC
Broken since r39712. The "from" and "to" form fields are filled in to match the values from the current query, meaning that you can't change the namespace without deleting the prefilled values from those boxes. I'll try assigning it to Aaron.
Comment 3 Aaron Schulz 2009-06-01 19:32:31 UTC
Fixed in r51302
Comment 4 Dan Jacobson 2009-06-02 01:34:00 UTC
All I know here up to r51324 is when the user changes
>Display pages starting at: XX
>Display pages ending at:   YY
>Namespace: Main
to e.g.,
>Display pages starting at: XX
>Display pages ending at:   YY
>Namespace: Mediawiki
I think you need to clear the fields so he is now looking at
>Display pages starting at:
>Display pages ending at:
>Namespace: Mediawiki
before he hits "Go", or else he must remember to clear them out by hand.
I suppose you will need JavaScript to do that...

You can use the "all pages" link in the upper right corner...though a "reset" button is much prettier

Leaving bug open until all issues are ironed out.
Comment 8 Aaron Schulz 2009-06-03 13:37:21 UTC
OK, the issue fixed in r51302 was the automatic changing of the to/from fields.

As for a reset button, JS solutions tend to be frowned upon, so maybe a "clear" link or link "button" is best.

Any such button is separate enhancement request.
