Les, Luke: Thoughts?

Sheppy: Thoughts? Priority?

Comment 2

[Eric Shepherd [:sheppy]]

This is a fairly big deal; some of those pages are important (especially the C++ Portability Guide and DebugOnly<T>, for example.

Comment 3

[Luke Crouch [:groovecoder]]

So the good news is the pages are there and it's probably just an issue with the url resolver and/or slug matcher having trouble with the characters. Still digging ...

Comment 4

[Les Orchard [:lorchard]]

See also bug 781066, sounds like the same issue or a dupe

Comment 5

[John Karahalis [:openjck]]

James: Are you still working on this. Luke could take it on if you're not.

Comment 7

[James Bennett [:ubernostrum]]

Handing this one back because I'm stumped. It doesn't appear to be a mod_rewrite issue, per my comment in bug 781066, but I can't for the life of me figure out how/why Django is screwing this up.

I suspect this is going to be something really simple that I'm just overlooking, though.

Comment 8

[John Karahalis [:openjck]]

Working around a bug in Scrumbugs.

Are we missing important docs here?  It's a year and a half down the road...

Yes, and we occasionally still get asked about them. Same pages that are listed in c#0.

I have restored the C++ portability guide from https://web.archive.org/web/20100626120226/https://developer.mozilla.org/en/C___Portability_Guide to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Cpp_portability_guide

[Jannis Leidel [:jezdez]]

This is likely a result of bug 1090241.

[Jannis Leidel [:jezdez]]

Not quite, but this gets us closer, further investigating..

This is fixed now, after fixing an encoding issue in the database content.
See https://developer.mozilla.org/en/C++_Portability_Guide

> DebugOnly<T>
> https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Namespace/Mozilla/DebugOnly%3CT%3E

The document was deleted, I restored it.

> Another example:

Restored as https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/NSS/PKCS_11_Netscape_Trust

There was some problems with storing the # sign in the database
