When I tried to view the following page http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AContributions&target... I got the following error message: Database error
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
For Mbecker (Talk) A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was:
(SQL query hidden)
from within function "wfSpecialContributions". MySQL returned error "1053: Server shutdown in progress (10.0.0.2)".
Also, when looking at the source of this page I found the following: <b>Warning</b>: mysql_query(): Unable to save result set in <b>/usr/local/apache/common-local/php-1.4/includes/Database.php</b> on line <b>325</b><br />
Also, in case this helps: <!-- Served by smellie in 15.70 secs. -->
Also, on a different page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:#20406 which is linked to by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special%3AIpblocklist I get the following: Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /usr/local/apache/common-local/php-1.4/index.php on line 50

That could be a transitory failure due to high server load; it happens occasionally, probably something to do with the complex server setup which I don't pretend to understand. It loaded for me fine.

That's an illegal page name - the "#20406" part will be interpretted by the browser as an anchor link, so the URL becomes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User: - which obviously points to nothing. The display of the database error was just submitted as http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1899 - which appears to have been fixed already.
The fact that the block list links there - but doesn't have a "contribs" link, I notice - is odd, and it seems that that's not actually the name of the account. Note that all entries listed as "autoblocked" have "usernames" of that form - actually, I'm guessing, the internal ID number from the database. Looks like somebody introduced a bug into the autoblocker code, such that it's not storing the right information in the log.
