Replicant » Upstreaming patches

We want to migrate to MediaWiki for various reasons.

For that we've started working on a script to convert a Redimne wiki to git, so we could then push the commits to a MediaWiki instance (git supports mediawiki:// remotes).

The script uses python-redmine which under the hood retrieve information from the running Redmine instance.

However Redmine returns error 500 on the DeprecatedWikiStart at revision 1:
https://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/DeprecatedWikiStart/1.json

While it works at revision 2:
https://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/DeprecatedWikiStart/2.json

So we need to bugreport that in Redmine.

If we look at the history, the revision 1 doesn't have any author:
https://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/DeprecatedWikiStart/history?page=10&per_page=25

If we look at the content of the page, redmine reports Anonymous as author:
https://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/DeprecatedWikiStart/1

And the page content looks like content automatically generated by Trac (we first used Trac and then OSUOSL kindly migrated us to Redmine which was easier to maintain).

So we need to open a bug in Redmine as there doesn't seem to be a similar bug last time I looked in their bug tracker.

Now we have the latest Redmine version, so it might be a good time to open a bugreport there:

Environment:
  Redmine version                4.2.3.stable
  Ruby version                   2.7.5-p203 (2021-11-24) [x86_64-linux]
  Rails version                  5.2.6
  Environment                    production
