Small bug: wiki pages sent to bin not excluded

    Hi David,

    I had an link with the “article exists” colouration, but clicking on it gave me a not found error.

    Going to my page list I found there was no such article. Puzzled, I created a new page with the same nominal title and then noticed that the slug had “-2” appended. I then checked further and found that there had been a previous version of article and which had since been sent to the bin.

    It appears that the link check is not excluding pages that are in the bin.

    Best regards

    Julian

    Hi Julian,

    Thanks for letting me know. It turns out this is a WordPress thing. The permalink is still in the database even when the article is in the trash. Here is a link of someone else who has that issue:

    Hi David,

    Thanks for the link; I had inferred as much.

    I suppose that things can be taken out of the trash again so keeping the permalink isn’t a surprise or an issue for me, I was just wondering whether WP provided any indication that a permalink was in the trash so that it could be ignored.

    Cynically, I suspect that you probably have no way of knowing what’s in the trash and what’s not – except by trying to get at it, which should then fail… but that’s a performance bashing and not very elegant. Now I know about the issue I’ll avoid it ??

    Best regards

    Julian
