[FIXED] Wiki redirects don't work for unauthenticated users
ripper Jan 23, 2017
This is a bug about wiki, but I don't know where to file it, so I'm putting it here. If I look at this page while logged out from the wiki, I see its old content:
https://www.gamingonlinux.com/wiki/Mesa_Broken
but when I log in, it redirects me to the new page with newer contents:
https://www.gamingonlinux.com/wiki/Games_broken_on_Mesa

It seems that redirects are broken for some reason when not logged in. I tried two browsers (Firefox and Chromium) and I see the old page when unauthenticated in both.

This is a problem e.g. because Valve noticed that page:
https://twitter.com/Plagman2/status/822669038438338562
but they are most definitely not logged in, so they're seeing the old contents of that page.

I have no idea what can be wrong here. Maybe some caching/proxy issue?

That's really weird and obviously wrong behaviour. Mediawiki is a pain in the ass to work with.

Not entirely sure what's causing it at the moment, as far as I can see it's setup correctly.

If you're not sure how fix it in a few days, maybe just mention the new location in the twitter conversation. Thanks.

This should now be fixed.

It seems it is. Thanks.
