Description: Firstrevisionsince excludes too many pages
Extension / Version: DPL   /   1.8.0
Type / Status: Bug   /   open

Problem

I updated from DPL 1.7.4 to 1.8.0 and recognized that "firstrevisionsince" excludes too many pages on my query in http://www.thomas-krenn.com/de/wiki/Benutzer:Wfischer#Neueste_Artikel_von_Werner_Fischer_seit_1.12.2008 I tried to downgrade back to 1.7.4 but this does not fix the problem. I'm not 100% sure whether the page still worked correctly before the update to 1.8.0, but the Google Cache entry from "26. Mai 2009 03:43:42 GMT" still showed the complete list: http://209.85.129.132/search?q=cache:vxO-r7k8Uf4J:www.thomas-krenn.com/de/wiki/Benutzer:Wfischer+http://www.thomas-krenn.com/de/wiki/Benutzer:Wfischer&cd=1&hl=de&ct=clnk&gl=at&client=firefox-a

I created two pages in our wiki to document the issue. The first page Benutzer:Wfischer/Test1 includes firstrevisionsince=2008-12-01 and shows 20 results. The second page Benutzer:Wfischer/Test2 does not include the firstrevisionsince=2008-12-01 statement and shows 69 results back to the date 1st december 2008.

(I included "debug=3" in these examples)

There have been major changes in this part of the code (some of them before 1.7.4), so it is likely to be an error that was involuntarily introduced. I will look after it. Gero 21:35, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for this fast reply. After adding to new aritcles in our Wiki I just noticed that now it is also necessary to add an ?action=purge to the URL, otherwise the new articles are not included in the results. Switching back to 1.7.4 does not fix this (so I'm still a little bit confused, because this has once worked in the past). Perhaps you can keep this in mind when you look after the original reported bug. PS: thank you very much for this extremly valueable mediawiki extension! --Wfischer 08:55, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
