Description Malafaya 2010-06-15 11:16:06 UTC
The Special:OrphanedPages is supposed to list all "pages not linked from any other page". I noticed that the "other" part is not true: if a page links to itself, it won't show up in this list and it's not linked from *other* pages.

Example:

I create a new page "test" and I include just the following wikitext:

[[test]]

Next time the orphaned pages is updated, this page won't show up there because there's one record in the pagelinks table where the "to" page is the page with title "test", despite the fact that the "from" page is also the "test" page.
I.e., the select should check [AND pl_from != pl_to] (or something like that; I don't have the table struct here right now)

According to the intended concept, I believe what people are expecting is that all pages not linked from somewhere ELSE should be listed, hence this bug submission.

Thanks!
