The attempt to move https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/Install_on_Unix has blocked the page.
Here is the error message:

I wonder if this is an upstream bug? I hesitate to try a wiki upgrade with things in an incomplete state but it seems things have been broken for a while so I am interested in resolving this whatever steps might need to be taken.

Is a wiki admin still needed to try something? I can give myself admin rights and give it a shot.

Looking at the permissions, you (@renatorivo) should be able to move a page. Maybe if somebody with additional "bureaucrat" permission would try, to see if there is any difference.

Anyway, looking at the message, i didn't get any direct clues for now. Looks like it is related to Translate extension. Do such extensions get updated regularly? Some similar issues did mention the need to run update.php on each MediaWiki (extension) upgrade.

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Update.php

Now if i remember correctly, we don't have (direct shell) access and likely this hasn't been done in a while? If that is correct, that i guess could start to show in some form. But this could end up being unrelated.

Looking at the permissions, you (@renatorivo) should be able to move a page.

Of course, I have successfully moved other pages, but if I open this page as administrator I get this message:
"You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reason:
This page is locked because the translatable page is currently being moved."
and the page is never moved.

Maybe if somebody with additional "bureaucrat" permission would try, to see if there is any difference.

It would be useful to try this.

"You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reason:
This page is locked because the translatable page is currently being moved."
and the page is never moved.

I confirm I see this + I saw this in the past when attempting to fix this issue.

If i combine all the info, it starts to make sense:

This page is locked because the translatable page is currently being moved."

Therefore on move operation the page likely gets locked, moved and unlocked. But as a move operation has failed:

wiki/extensions/Translate/tag/TranslatablePage.php: Argument 1 passed to TranslatablePage::newFromTitle() must be an instance of Title, null given, called in /home/freecadweb/public_html/wiki/extensions/Translate/tag/TranslatablePageMoveJob.php on line 56

The outcome is no page got moved, but the original page is still considered locked. Now we need to determine, on what kind of a lock we are talking about. As the lock was introduced by the Translation extension, likely this isn't the same lock, as setting/unsetting the page protection?

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Protected_pages

Best to first check if "unprotecting" the page is the same as unlocking it. After i guess best to focus on why Translate extension is causing issues in the first place. As without solving that, each time some page will get moved, the issue will likely occur again. Checking if MediWiki and Translate extenison are up to date is i guess the first sensible thing to do. After that is settled and if the issue will persist i guess figuring out on how to run update.php is the next step. Likely best to send an e-mail to hosting provider, if they are prepared to do it. It does say that running update.php can sometimes result in corruption. Not sure if we can create a database backup before running it.

Waiting to unlock the page, I created https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/Install_on_Linux/Unix for any changes.

Hi @renatorivo

Yes, that is a solution for now. I more or less helped to determine, on what is likely going on, based on the available info. Now one of the people having more access, on the server side, will need to take over.

P.S. Until this problem is resolved, on the server side, i would not recommend to move any pages on Wiki.

Triplus, fyi, on top & bottom of the wiki pages of "Install on Windows" and "Install on Mac", I've modified the shortcut pointing to "Install on Unix" to the new page created by Renotorivo "Install on Linux/Uinx". If you consider it's wrong, sorry and cancel that modifications.

Sounds good.
