[Mediawiki-l] Special:MostLinkedPages

This has been discussed on the mailing list about 6 weeks ago (though I
was not subscribed at that time)

This is indeed caused by a bug in this PHP file. It can be fixed by
changing the original code:

>         function makeWlhLink( &$title, $caption, &$skin ) {
>                 $wlh = SpecialPage::getTitleFor( 'Whatlinkshere', $title->getPrefixedDBkey() );
>                 return $skin->makeKnownLinkObj( $wlh, $caption );
>         }

to:

>         function makeWlhLink( &$title, $caption, &$skin ) {
>                 $wlh = SpecialPage::getTitleFor( 'Whatlinkshere', $title );
>                 return $skin->makeKnownLinkObj( $wlh, $caption );
>         }


It took 5 minutes to find and fix the bug, and 55 minutes to submit it
to bugzilla (apparently the site seems to be under heavy load).
