with this followup, it now just fails silently, including on wikidata.org :(

http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5084 (check the deletion log, I created this for test purpose, deleted it and undeleted and it

It shows "03:57, 1 November 2012 Katie Filbert (WMDE) (Talk | contribs) restored page Q5084 (1 revision restored: test)"

but the page says "This item does not exist. You can search the related logs to find out where it went, or create a new item."

The failure happens on my test instance too, and believe it occurs only with $wgContentHandlerUseDB = true and only with items.

I am trying this with different versions of the repo and with the Deletion and Undeletion hooks commented out. With the undeletion hook, it's having trouble with $rev->getContent() and sure it worked before.

This fixes the issue

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/31179

The current use case of Wikidata does not mix non-default content in a namespace (e.g. wikitext in the item namespace), so this will work for now.

To have non-default content models and formats for a new revision or page, we will have to come up with a better solution.

The code for handling archived revisions and undeletions in core is a bit ugly and we'll have to work around it in some other way.

Same fix as for bug 41615 which is also marked as blocking.

[Aude: Any chance to mention bug IDs in Gerrit commit messages, if possible?
Makes searching the other way round easier. Thanks for considering.]

The above fatal error is caused by this revert: I789e45bd. However, undeletion did fail silently before: it would claim to undelete the page, but the page would have no content and no revisions.

On the database level, this was caused by the revisions being restored with rev_page containing the original page ID instead of the ID of the newly created page.

A fix for both issues is here: I796fe54e
