A Conversation for h2g2 Feedback - Bug Reports

Relocated conversations

When the DNA Messages account (U294) uses its special powers to relocate conversation threads onto another forum, it doesn't handle PS forums properly. Whereas it would normally get the name from an A-page, it fails to pick up the user name (or U-number) instead for a user forum with no name on the page now that they have to have a dummy page. This leads to silly messages, eg on <./>T661345</.> and <./>T661547</.>:

"Editorial Note: This conversation has been moved from 'h2g2 Announcements' to ''."

It probably wouldn't do much better with another unnamed page, ie using the A-number in the message would be a possibility.

"Depends on what you think the title of a Personal Space should be. This particular user has not edited their Personal Space entry. (will probably be something about a band)

An empty entry has [No Subject] as title, I think it is handled as good as possible. "

For a PS, the obvious thing to check next and use is the user-name - as shown on the thread/forum already. In the absence of that then the U-number could be the default text. My last remark addressed the fact that some pages other than new user ones don't have titles either. There the A-number could be the default text.
