We use a wiki to keep track of information for our pen-and-paper-ish games, and today we converted a bunch of our older pages to namespaces so we could make room for the new stuff on some very similar names.
Some of those old pages, we had already been thinking ahead when we named them. In particular, we had one named "Red_Eyes:Emi", which just happened to conflict with one of the namespaces. So I moved it before creating the namespace, then moved it back afterwards.
The problem is, all of those pages that were conflicting at one point now show up in the "Wanted Pages" list. And I'm not sure why. It only seems to be counting some of the links to that page, as well. It will show "1 link" on the Wanted Pages list, but when you click on it, it will show two.
I'm thinking this is some caching thing since we already had some pages linking to the namespace-ish page, and then not touching those pages after converting it to a real namespace. Can anybody confirm/debunk this thought, and do you know of any solutions to the problem? I'm thinking editing those pages that didn't get edited should fix it, but I have no real way of telling which ones those are now.
Running Mediawiki 1.16.0, PHP 5.2.6-3ubuntu4.6 (apache2handler), and MySQL 5.0.75-0ubuntu10.5.
I'd link to the wiki in question, but there is some somewhat insecure things linked from it that I'd rather not have spread about too much.
