Dear friends,

Today http://usability.wikimedia.org/wiki/special:PrefixIndex/Environment_Survey and http://usability.wikimedia.org/wiki/special:PrefixIndex/talk:Environment_Survey show some differences about the available pages.

My http://usability.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Watchlist/edit shows
(Main)

  • Environment Survey (Talk | History)
  • Environment Survey/MediaWiki Extensions (Talk)
  • Environment Survey/MediaWiki Extensions/Criteria (Talk | History)
  • Environment Survey/MediaWiki Extensions/Nomination (Talk | History)
  • Environment Survey/MediaWiki Extensions/Results (Talk | History)
  • Environment Survey/MediaWiki Skins (Talk)
  • Environment Survey/MediaWiki Skins/Criteria (Talk | History)
  • Environment Survey/MediaWiki Skins/Nomination (Talk | History)
  • Environment Survey/MediaWiki Skins/Results (Talk | History)
  • Environment Survey/Other Wiki Software (Talk)
  • Environment Survey/Other Wiki Software/Criteria (Talk | History)
  • Environment Survey/Other Wiki Software/Nomination (Talk | History)
  • Environment Survey/Other Wiki Software/Results (Talk | History)

The problem for newbies might be to recognize that for some of the pages with red links both the subjectpagename page *and* talk subpagename page have been deleted.

Another misleading point (mainly for admins) migth be to delete only one of the pages. This is the case today at

available http://usability.wikimedia.org/wiki/talk:Environment_Survey/MediaWiki_Extensions
and deleted http://usability.wikimedia.org/wiki/Environment_Survey/MediaWiki_Extensions

Best regards

Non-existing "talk" pages for a specific subjectpage are red links for me on http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:EditWatchlist with 1.21wmf7, also for pages with a specific prefix. Hence closing as FIXED - if this does not work for you please clarify the problem. Thanks!
