In Emacs 24.3.1, I upgraded Mediawiki package to the latest version, 20150403..., using the package manager. After restarting, I found that I can't access remote Mediawiki sites any more, after inputting user name and password as usual, I got a

Wrong type argument: listp, 0

error in the mini buffer. Anybody else? Any idea how to fix it?

Edit:

This is what I get in a backtrace buffer:

  • Maybe you should upgrade to latest Emacs 24.5.

    You might want to report that issue on the bug tracker for the package: github.com/hexmode/mediawiki-el

    I'd like to help, but I need the backtrace. That, or which (public) wiki you are trying this on. (Sorry about the delay in responding... someone pinged me about this while I was at a conference.)

Reset to default

I fixed it by changing lines 177 and following from:

  (cadr revision))
 ((assoc bit (car revision))
  (cdr (assoc bit (car revision))))
 (t revision))))

to:

  (cadr rev))
 ((assoc bit (car rev))
  (cdr (assoc bit (car rev))))
 (t rev))))

  • Since I reported the issue, I restored the older version when the project hadn't moved to GitHub, and it worked. Now I'll try your fix. I still hope the official author of the mode could fix it in the official version.
