http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Movepage&action=success Will show blank page (due to error logging); but on a non-error-logging wiki, the same thing will display this PHP fatal error as the output: ================================================================= Fatal error: Call to a member function isTalkPage() on a non-object in /var/www/hosts/mediawiki/phase3/includes/SpecialMovepage.php on line 269 =================================================================
I'm not sure if this is a bug. There are lots of ways to generate PHP error messages, some of them are beyond our control. I don't think it's a security issue, it's barely a code quality issue. I guess the only issue is whether it generates unwanted noise in automated testing.
It's certainly a bug, though quite likely entirely harmless.
