Description lɛʁi לערי ריינהארט 2005-11-19 15:14:02 UTC
Sorry for this.

If you have an account for your bot and you make a redirect from
user_talk:FooBot to
user_talk:Foo
and somebody posts messages at user_talk:FooBot then you would not be able to
"clear" the "You have new messages" for the user:FooBot acount.

This bug might be platform dependend as I do not know how MediaWiki gets
confused by the cookies for the different accounts.

regards reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]

P.S. Please confirm the bug.

The flag is usually cleared when you visited the orignal (non-redirected) page

I know. It happens to me at
http://test.leuksman.com/view/Special:Recentchanges
when I am logged in as
http://test.leuksman.com/index.php?title=User:%D7%90_%D7%91_%D7%92_%D7%93&redirect=no
This happens with
*Netscape*
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20051012
Netscape/8.0.4
Build number: 20051012
and
*Firefox*
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915
Firefox/1.0.7
also when clearing the cach with CTRL-SHIFT-R

So what is the problem?
Comment 4 lɛʁi לערי ריינהארט 2005-11-20 07:13:41 UTC
You need to create two accounts at FiverAlpha User:Foo and User:FooBar.

Then use another browser - you should log in anonymosly *or* as User:Foo and
make a redirect from User_talk:FooBar to User_talk:Foo.

If you go to the browser where you are logged in as User:FooBar you can see the
problem: You can *not* get read of the "You have new messages".
Comment 5 Rob Church 2005-11-20 14:58:47 UTC
I meant, had the problem been worked around? Can you not manually go to the
redirect page with &redirect=no?
Comment 6 lɛʁi לערי ריינהארט 2005-11-20 15:13:13 UTC
I cleared the redirect at
http://test.leuksman.com/history/User_talk:%D7%90_%D7%91_%D7%92_%D7%93

However the problem is still there - I pressed CTRL-SHIFT-R In Netscape.
It might be that
a) does not handle the cash correctly ( I still get "You have new messages") at
http://test.leuksman.com/view/Special:Recentchanges
b) something else is broken at FiverAlpha
