[Pkg-mediawiki-devel] Bug#472831: mediawiki: Cannot create a new page

Package: mediawiki
Version: 1:1.12.0-1
Severity: important


Whenever I try to create a new page, I get the following error:

Database error
A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was:

    (SQL query hidden)

from within function "Database::select". MySQL returned error "1146: Table 'wikidb.protected_titles' doesn't exist (localhost)".

The URL leading to this was
http://localhost/mediawiki/index.php?title=Fubar&action=edit


This used to work. I installed mediawiki very recently, and it initially used to work. I had successfully created a page. Now, for no apparent 
reason, it does not work any more, and I cannot create any page no matter what it's named.

Cheers,
Oliver
