'?'

## How to deal with the bug until it is fixed

You can find the respective entry for the page in the recent changes
where the author is given. See `MoinWiki.getPageInfo` in
http://www.merten-home.de/FreeSoftware/moinupdate/moinupdate . -- StefanMerten <<DateTime(2006-05-20T17:53:09Z)>>

You may also use the plugin `getRecentChangesWithAttributes` from the
[[http://www.merten-home.de/FreeSoftware/remoteMoin/|remoteMoin]]
collection of XML-RPC plugins. With this plugin you can get recent
changes for selected pages containing all available information. -- StefanMerten <<DateTime(2006-05-21T19:25:26Z)>>

= Discussion =
This happens because the called methods of the Page class do not support the author attribute correctly. In order to fix this, several methods need to be refactored.

A patch for 1.7 [[attachment:Page.py.patch]], not sure if it is a good way to search in revisions, please check it out -- YuJieLin <<DateTime(2008-05-02T02:44:53Z)>>

 Thanks for the patch! It looks fine, except for the case when it does not find the rev in the edit-log (should not, but can happen). Maybe add some else branch to the for loop. -- ThomasWaldmann <<DateTime(2008-05-02T08:20:28+0100)>>
 New patch [[attachment:xmlrpcpageinfo.patch]] -- YuJieLin <<DateTime(2008-05-02T12:45:17Z)>>
= Plan =
## This part is for Moin``Moin developers:

 * Priority: 
 * Assigned to:
 * Status: Fixed by http://hg.moinmo.in/moin/1.7/rev/c9494979fe7a (this also fixes some other problem and changes behaviour a bit, so it won't get backported to 1.6).
