Description Marc Adler 2005-04-15 18:28:07 UTC 
I accessed a wikipage in a special namespace. Trying to return to some kind of
index-page i removed the part after the colon an got an PHP Error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in
/usr/local/apache/common-local/php-1.4/index.php on line 50

I tried it with

Comment 1 Rowan Collins [IMSoP] 2005-04-15 19:27:21 UTC 
Hm. I guess the title code is trying to look up a page with no name (just a
namespace) and failing, and the display code is not checking for this condition.
Testing reveals that other invalid pages behave the same, e.g.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%2b

The line in question just needs a check like "if(!$wgTitle)", initialising some
"invalid pagename" text, which I have a feeling we already have for other purposes.
Comment 2 Brion Vibber 2005-04-15 19:49:33 UTC 
Broken code in the variant handling. I've reverted the change again pending correct fixes in that code.
