unable to report certain pages as patrolled

[Martijn_Hoekstra]

on several pages, for example "That's All I Want from You" NPWatcher is unable to mark the page as patrolled.

I suspect, that that will be the apostrophe...

[Martijn_Hoekstra (martijnhoekstra)]

so did I, but the same issue arises on "VibroAcoustic therapy"

Does it come up with the messagebox saying something like "try another page"?

If so, it means that the program can't find the rcid of the article creation, and so can't construct a URL to mark the article as patrolled. We're currently getting the rcid quite clumsily:
# Find the time of creation of the page via a history query
# Find the rcid by loading the recentchanges query with type="new" from the timestamp retrieved earlier. 5 results are retrieved.

I suppose the problem would either come from a mass influx of new pages at a given timestamp, or from mediawiki doing something strange with timestamps across the different tables.

Mediawiki bug http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12394 should give us a much cleaner solution.

yeah, that's the one. I didn't update the bug yet, but it is in the
rcid. Happens when you edit the page manualy in the bottom window, and
then try to mark it as patrolled. Maybe we could grab it somewhere
else.

It could actualy quite well be that they were redirects. If that's the case, a fix will take a little more work.
