You must log in.
Navigation (in Monobook) is contradictory.
Write somthing into the "own user page" and into the "talk page of the own user
talk page"

Compare the links and their colors if you select the "own user page"
a) at the top of the window (own user, own user talk, preferences etc.)
b) functionality for that page (page, talk, edit, history etc.)

I'm sorry, but this report is incomprehensible.

Please provide a detailed description of *how* actual behavior differs from what is expected.

Hi!

Please see http://ta.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project:Bugzilla_2075 !

I can understand that it is difficult to navigate "blind" in a wiki.
Nevertheless beleive me: There is only one page in the User talk namespace.

Please do not blame me about the broken links in bugzilla. Bugzilla should have
a preview.

Hi,
I'm an admin in Tamil wikipedia. Let me point down the problems there.

  1. Except in recent changes, all user talk pages appear as red links and when you click on them open in edit

mode even when the pages are already created in which case the existing content is there in the edit box.

  1. Even for user talk pages, the navigation bar shows the equivalent of "Article|Discussion|.." with the tab

set to article and hence you are able to create discussion pages of user talk pages! For ex, my user page is
[[:ta:பயனர்:Sundar]], [[:ta:பயனர் பேச்சு:Sundar]] and the discussion on my talk page i.e. Talk:User
talk:Sundar is [[:ta:பேச்சு:பயனர் பேச்சு:Sundar]]. The basic problem is because user talk pages are treated as
articles!

Can we upgrade the whole mediawiki software to the latest version?

Sundar, thank you for the clear description.

I've found the problem (incorrect use of space instead of underscore in the namespace
definition) and am correcting it now.

Thank you Brion for your immediate response and Reinhardt (Gangleri) for reporting the issue.

Sundar

Seems to be working correctly now. Fixes applied to CVS HEAD and REL1_4 and put live, and I've
renamed the broken pages in the database.

If a page still shows wrong, try adding ?action=purge on the URL to force it to rerender.
