Description clockworksoul 2008-05-04 19:26:34 UTC

When label for the "Next page" link generated for Special:PrefixIndex contains an ampersand in the title, it isn't converted into an "&amp;", generating a fatal error when trying to parse the XML on the page.

An example of such a link is below, generated today on en wikipedia:

<a href="/w/index.php?title=Special:PrefixIndex&amp;from=WikiProject_Anime_and_manga/Userbox/User_RedSuns_Ryosuke&amp;prefix=WikiProject&amp;namespace=4"
title="Special:PrefixIndex">
Next page (WikiProject_Anime_and_manga/Userbox/User_RedSuns_Ryosuke)
</a>

Comment 1 clockworksoul 2008-05-04 23:51:41 UTC

I gave you the wrong example...  

This one is a correct example:

<a href="/w/index.php?title=Special:PrefixIndex&amp;from=WikiProject_Military_history/Assessment/Tag_%26_Assess_2008/075&amp;prefix=WikiProject&amp;namespace=4" title="Special:PrefixIndex">
Next page (WikiProject_Military_history/Assessment/Tag_&_Assess_2008/075)
</a>

Fixed in r34229.

Comment 3 clockworksoul 2008-07-15 05:01:07 UTC

This bug seems to have reappeared: take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:PrefixIndex&from=WikiProject_Medieval_Scotland/Bibliography/others&prefix=WikiProject&namespace=4

On this page (as of the time of this writing) the "Next page" link generates the following:

<a 
    href="/w/index.php?title=Special:PrefixIndex&amp;from=WikiProject_Military_history/Assessment/Tag_%26_Assess_2008/124&amp;prefix=WikiProject&amp;namespace=4" 
    title="Special:PrefixIndex">
       Next page (WikiProject_Military_history/Assessment/Tag_&_Assess_2008/124)
</a>

Attempting to parse this causes my parser to complain as follows: "The reference to entity "_Assess_2008" must end with the ';' delimiter."

Comment 4 clockworksoul 2008-07-15 17:23:01 UTC

My mistake: this fix simply hasn't yet been incorporated into the release version of WikiMedia.

Comment 5 Alexandre Emsenhuber [IAlex] 2008-07-15 17:44:24 UTC

This is not your mistake, this revision is already live. Special:Prefixindex should be fixed in r37704.
