Comment 3 for bug 178794

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.
