Description

When using the backlink function (by clicking on a page title) or looking at WantedPages, OrphanedPages and so on, my result lists are incomplete and therefore unusable. I've figured out that it works fine for links of the form PageName or PageName/SubPage but it does not work for links of the form [:PageName: My own title]. This is used when

• an alternative title shall be displayed for the referred page, e.g., [:PageName: My own title]

• anchors inside another page are referenced, e.g., [:PageName#anchor:My own anchor name]

This is the suggested way described in HelpOnLinking.

Steps to reproduce

1. create a link to a wiki page with an alternate title [:MoinMoinBugs/LinksWithTitlesNotIncludedInSearchResults/TestPage:Test page for the bug]

2. if the page does not exist yet and non_exist_qm is set to 1, check the link in the referring page
   • It should display a question mark in front of the link (but does not)

3. if the page does not exist yet, check WantedPages

   • It should contain the referenced page that does not exist yet (but does not)

4. if the page does exist, check OrphanedPages

   • It should not contain the existing page as it is referenced by another one (but it does contain the page)

Example

• Test page for wrong link behaviour on existing page

• Test page for wrong link behaviour on non existing page

[MoinMoinBugs/LinksWithTitlesNotIncludedInSearchResults/TestExistingPage: Test page for wrong link behaviour on existing page]
[MoinMoinBugs/LinksWithTitlesNotIncludedInSearchResults/TestNonExistingPage: Test page for wrong link behaviour on non existing page]

Workaround

This seems to work in this wiki, so has either been already fixed or is a platform problem (unlikely). Can someone, please, tell me what patch is needed to get this fixed?

Discussion

Bug still isn't fixed in Release 1.3.5: Backlink function still doesn't find pages with links of type [wiki:Self:PageName#anchor LinkTitle]!

We have this same problem on our wiki at http://wiki.musicbrainz.org (Release 1.3.4). Additionally there are some pages which are linked to by a normal CamelCase link, but the search does not show up any BackLinks, and they are listed as OrphanedPages. An example is AuidoBookStyle which is linked to by ProposedStyleGuideline, but has no BackLinks. This is very weird. --MusicBrainz:DonRedman

• Very nice antispam system except that the usability is near 0 if your browser limits the realm-description text to not enough characters, i.e. you do not see the needed credentials to login successfully.

Anyway, yours is a very weird bug that is not related to this one. Please file a new one and upgrade to 1.3.5 before doing so in order to see if the fix for this bug fixed yours as well.

Problem is that Interwiki links to Self where not counted as internal links and [:Pagename:Text] is mapped to an interwiki link.
