The article https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/St%C3%A9phane_de_Lobkowicz was created 10 August 2013 17:31 (UTC) bij IP 109.131.196.6, which little later was confirmed to belong to Carolus, a long time structural vandal, permanently blocked from the Dutch Wikipedia. When we tried to delete the page, an error occurred, with the error message saying: "A database error has occurred. Did you forget to run maintenance/update.php after upgrading? See: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading#Run_the_update_script Query: DELETE FROM `categorylinks` WHERE cl_from = '3771450' Function: LinksDeletionUpdate::doUpdate Error: 1205 Lock wait timeout exceeded; try restarting transaction (10.64.16.23)" We were unable to delete the article. We neither could rename it; even performing a rollback on the last edit generated an error. Could someone help finding out how this on earth is possible?
Note: Performing a rollback is possible, but only if you are rollbacking a edit that was a normal edit. See: http://gyazo.com/7a0ec8fe5e411f994fabb5acf82ab0f0 "Wijzigingen door Southparkfan (Overleg) hersteld tot de laatste versie door Trijnstel" was the rollback.
The article is successful deleted by another sysop.
The "another sysop" is the one who originally detected the bug and still would like to know what has been done to enable the deletion one day later. It would be very strange if some users would know of an opportunity to create pages that cannot be deleted.
