After completing classic RC patrol, I get taken to  https://www.wikihow.com/Image:GO-WATCH-SOME-PORN-HUB.gif?rcid=27000678&curid=11555025&diff=27401638&oldid=0&namespace=&invert=0&reverse=0&associated=0&fromrc=1 and get a MediaWiki internal error of MediaWikiinternal error.

Original exception: [a2b640d2ab860acade1e4f1a] 2020-01-10 20:59:12: Fatal exception of type “MWException”

Exception caught inside exception handler.

Set $wgShowExceptionDetails = true; at the bottom of LocalSettings.php to show detailed debugging information.

@Awesome-Aasim this is known and on the list for a fix. Thanks!

How will you fix it?  With a wrench or a bug zapper?

LOL:stuck_out_tongue:

I agree… it’s kinda funny. I’ve been to that error page before. I was doing classic RC Patrol, and then after approving an edit: MediaWiki Error. xD

@JustJoshua I was laughing at @Awesome-Aasim , but I can agree the error is funny too. I’ve been on that page too.

Yeah… xD

Oh, and the first time I saw that page I was like “Wait, what? Are the wikiHow servers down?” and then I see the URL and I’m like “Ohh… so that’s why.” xD

Can we just restore that image, quickly patrol the edit on it, and then delete it again? or is the image so bad that it can’t be restored, even for a minute?

@R2_d2000 - If I recall correctly, the image was just a SFW picture of some anime characters and it’s just the title that’s a problem. The main issue is that looking at the image history, there’s nothing in there that should be marked as unpatrolled (image uploads should be patrolled by default and there’s nobody messing with the licensing information there), so I’m not sure we would actually be able to patrol the buggy edit.

@R2_d2000 , @Galactic-Radiance is correct - even restoring did not help because it shouldn’t have been in RC in the first place! It’s all a bit of a mystery, however, the engineers have worked their magic and the 2 images that were there have been cleared:slight_smile:
