Description とある白い猫 2008-02-29 20:03:02 UTC Something I accidentally discovered. If one tries to "&action=edit" a page with an "&oldid=#" tag (the oldid number doesn't exist) they get the error message in the text box: http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:White_Cat/nl&action=edit&oldid=11473090 Comment 1 Brion Vibber 2008-03-02 21:47:53 UTC That's probably because that revision doesn't exist in the database. You see the same when you remove the action=edit. Comment 2 とある白い猫 2008-03-04 19:12:26 UTC I think I am well aware of that. It should just display an error not an editable page. Right?
