Description matanya 2011-05-17 08:52:05 UTC
In the url listed here, you can see user:דורית protected the page in march 14 2011, [edit=autoconfirmed], indefinite. As you can see anonymous user still edited the page. only after re-protect on May 16 2011, the page was protected.
Comment 1 Brion Vibber 2011-05-17 10:23:44 UTC
May 10, April 20, and March 17 hewiki dumps shows only the move protection in place for this page:

mysql> select * from page_restrictions where pr_page=14058;
+---------+---------+----------+------------+---------+-----------+-------+
| pr_page | pr_type | pr_level | pr_cascade | pr_user | pr_expiry | pr_id |
+---------+---------+----------+------------+---------+-----------+-------+
|   14058 | move    | sysop    |          0 |    NULL | infinity  | 17148 |
+---------+---------+----------+------------+---------+-----------+-------+
1 row in set (0.01 sec)

Perhaps either something didn't save properly or the log line is unclear:

16:45, 14 March 2011 דורית (Talk | contribs) changed protection level for "כ"ך" [edit=autoconfirmed] (פוקעת 13:45, 21 במרץ 2011 (UTC)) [move=sysop] (בלתי מוגבל בזמן) ‏ (hist)
Comment 2 matanya 2011-05-17 10:29:04 UTC
To clarify: http://he.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%D7%9B%22%D7%9A&diff=prev&oldid=10064456 shows that the protection was on February 10 2011, and anonymous users still edited the page later.
Comment 3 Mark A. Hershberger 2011-05-20 17:15:05 UTC
Is it possible that this is related to bug #27858 in some way?
Comment 4 Chad H. 2011-05-29 18:44:02 UTC

I sincerely doubt it.
Comment 6 Krinkle 2011-06-13 18:23:16 UTC
Bumping priority, either "High" or invalid. Low seems wrong.
Comment 7 Mark A. Hershberger 2011-06-13 23:40:15 UTC
Since this is all (so far) on hewiki, is it possible there is a misconfiguration?
Comment 8 Mark A. Hershberger 2011-06-28 23:37:46 UTC
need to check Special:Log if these pages were deleted and then undeleted
Comment 9 Bawolff (Brian Wolff) 2011-06-29 05:21:42 UTC
For comment 2, I'm confused. As far as I can tell the protection in that instance expired on the 24th, and the first anon edit after that protection event was on the 25th. (The diff shows an edit before that protection was applied, I think. RTL interfaces are confusing for feeble minded people like me used to LTR).

Of course that still leaves the original issue reported in comment 0 at large, but as I understand its only happened once (?)
Comment 10 matanya 2011-06-29 07:27:58 UTC
Bawolff, you are right, I missed that. only comment 0 is the bug.
Comment 11 Mark A. Hershberger 2011-06-29 21:02:09 UTC
During triage, we thought that this might be the result of deleting
and then undeleting the page in question.  Special:Log, though
(http://hexm.de/47) shows no such problem.
Comment 12 Brion Vibber 2011-06-29 21:16:59 UTC
Going back to the log line quoted at the top: it says that the [edit=autoconfirmed] setting **expires March 21, 2011**, while the [move=sysop] setting is indefinite. ('expires' and 'march' are hardcoded into the log entry text in hebrew o_O)

The earlier protection on Feb 10 was against moves only.

So the behavior appears to be as expected, for what we see in the history: no surprising page moves, and no anonymous edits during the week March 14-21.
Comment 13 Brion Vibber 2011-06-29 21:26:08 UTC
Bug 15897 covers the low-level stuff needed to improve the log display so we won't get lost in the mixed English-Hebrew text next time. ;)
