  • perhaps another bug from https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/extensions/PageTriage/ /987142. we are now recalculating metadata when we move a page, but in this case we are targeting the wrong revision or the wrong title for some reason. or it could also be a timing issue due to DeferredUpdate/Job Queue
  • should be able to write an integration test to make sure this doesn't come back
