Talk:Crash

To User:PiotrGrochowski - why are we making a page that crashes? This is not a bug, this is just the way MediaWiki works. If you make a page redirect to itself, it will redirect to itself. It doesn't really "crash" my browser or anything, I just get a note that there's a redirect loop. What is the point of making this page? Mike Battaglia (talk) 13:45, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

If users want to see a crash page, they can thanks to me. PiotrGrochowski (talk) 16:23, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

It works by the way interlanguage travel works. This redirect redirects to :en:Crash, and interlanguage travel travels to this site ignoring instructions like &redirect=no. PiotrGrochowski (talk) 16:38, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

OK. This is a MediaWiki bug and there is very little we can do about it other than to deliberately get rid of such circular redirects if they arise. We don't want a page that intentionally crashes people's browsers, and would like to get rid of this. Mike Battaglia (talk) 06:19, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
