Special Pages irregular behavior

Special Pages reports have a number of odd behaviors - These can be split into separate reports if necessary.

Double redirects - reports spurious double redirects. Both examples at http://mb.nawcc.org/showwiki.php?tit...oubleredirects are incorrectly listed. They are single redirects.

Lists of pages with selected number to display do not update but give this invalid thread reference:

Code:

http://mb.nawcc.org/showthread.php?t=&limit=100&offset=0

.

Showing the next set of default (50) pages does work. Special page reports such as Articles with most revisions and others that generate a sorted list display properly.

Wanted Pages incorrectly lists all articles with & in the title. All such pages listed resolve to real pages.

Most Linked to Pages gives the message for missing permissions. It is the only Special Page report that does this. Most of these reports reference the Default namespace, so it is not clear how the permissions could differ for this report only.

What is Most Linked to Categories supposed to show? Are these the most used categories, or is this a report on actual links like [category]Category Name[/category]? This list is empty although we have quite a few categorized articles.

Were the articles that display in Double Redirects articles that had been renamed but were buggishly copied before the recent upgrade?

It's possible the & title articles on Wanted Pages were not removed because encoding was iffy when creating articles before the current version. Assuming everything else is functioning as it should, editing the articles in question should remove the erroneous entries.

Many of these bugs had to do with the Xpages and Xredirects mods. Since another bug has been created for the encoding issue, I have "fixed" this and moved it to the appropriate Xmods section.
