I discovered this at the Homestar Runner Fanstuff Wiki (http://fanstuff.hrwiki.org) a few days ago. While I was running my bot (deleting images), I discovered that even if images had already been deleted, they had been reported successfully deleted. Basically, if I go to an URL such as "/index.php?title=Non-existant_page&action=delete", it will tell me that the page doesn't exist and won't let me do anything else. However, if I go to something like "/index.php?title=Image:Non-existant_image.ext&action=delete", the deletion page will come up as if it existed. I can then proceed to press "Confirm", and it will tell me that the image has been deleted, although it never even existed. No log entry or anything like that is generated. Marked as minor because it doesn't really affect anything, although it can give false outputs on bot runs.
Bug is still present in 1.8-svn. This minor bug will not be backported to 1.5 branch - I will change Version to 1.8-svn.
Created attachment 2384 [details] patch for trunk Attached you will find a patch. Can somebody please double check it? I`m not sure concerning side effects. Thanks!
Images can have image revisions and no file revisions, so deleting non-existant image pages is not "a bug". Perhaps if it also checks for the lack of existance of file revisions, then action=delete could throw a bad title error.
Fixed some time ago...
