Description Nick Jenkins 2006-07-10 06:39:26 UTC
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.
Comment 2 Brion Vibber 2006-07-10 06:43:19 UTC
It's certainly a bug, though quite likely entirely harmless.
