Test1
- Full link
[http://wiki.slicer.org/slicerWiki/index.php/Documentation/Nightly/Extensions/TCIABrowser TCIABrowser]
render the this link: TCIABrowser
- Wiki link
[[Documentation/Nightly/Extensions/TCIABrowser|TCIABrowser]]
render the this link: TCIABrowser
Observations
Both link link to a page of the form
http://wiki.slicer.org/slicerWiki/index.php/Documentation/Nightly/Extensions/TCIABrowser%EF%BB%BF
Using a site like http://www.url-encode-decode.com/ to decode
%EF%BB%BF
doesn't give much information.
Test2
- Full link
[http://wiki.slicer.org/slicerWiki/index.php/Documentation/Nightly/Extensions/GyroGuide GyroGuide]
render the this link: GyroGuide
- Wiki link
[[Documentation/Nightly/Extensions/GyroGuide|GyroGuide]]
render the this link: GyroGuide
Observations
Both links work as expected.
Test3
- Backup current documentation page by (1) clicking edit and (2) copying the text into a text file
- Try to move the page to a different name TCIABrowser to TCIABrowserNew
- Try to link to the moved page
- Full link
[http://wiki.slicer.org/slicerWiki/index.php/Documentation/Nightly/Extensions/TCIABrowserNew TCIABrowserNew]
render the this link: TCIABrowserNew
- Wiki link
[[Documentation/Nightly/Extensions/TCIABrowserNew|TCIABrowserNew]]
render the this link: TCIABrowserNew
Observations
After moving the page, both links work as expected.
Link are borken after moving the page back to its original name.
Conclusion
New Since link work after moving the page to a different name but are broken again after renaming to the original name. I suspect there is something wrong in the database.
Possible approaches
Database cleanup
- Rename the page
- Clear all references to the old page in the mw database
- Rename back to the original page
Permanent rename
The page could be permanently renamed to something different. This is:
- easy
- suboptimal, it will lead to confusion for the user and the maintainer
Reference
Hi Jc, This is perplexing me. Do you know what is going on? This wiki page exist: http://wiki.slicer.org/slicerWiki/index.php/Documentation/Nightly/Extensions/TCIABrowser Yet, when a link like this is made to it: [http://wiki.slicer.org/slicerWiki/index.php/Documentation/Nightly/Extensions/TCIABrowser TCIABrowser] it points to this blank page: http://wiki.slicer.org/slicerWiki/index.php/Documentation/Nightly/Extensions/TCIABrowser%EF%BB%BF Then I edited this page by adding one character "a" and tried to redirect it to the actually existing wiki page, but the "Move page" and the "To new title" names are identical. So of course, *Source and destination titles are the same; cannot move a page over itself.* Is it anything to do with error in wiki parsing? How can it be remedied?
