malformed query on WikiStart page gets into catch-22 situation

[Chris Ryland <cpr@…>]

A malformed query link (e.g. [query:status=xxx... Tickets] where it should be ?status=...) on the WikiStart page triggers an exception, and then you can no longer edit the page, since it can't be displayed.

I guess there are two bugs here, one where a malformed query triggers an exception instead of an error, and one where an exception rendering a page makes it inaccessible to editing.

Of course one can use trac-admin to dump, edit, and re-load the page (which is what I did), but that's a bit roundabout.

This isn't really a solution, but you could edit the page with the web interface by manually appending ?action=edit to the URL, e.g. ​http://projects.edgewall.com/trac/wiki/SandBox?action=edit.

I edited the SandBox and tried these queries to replicate the reported error:

[query:?status=new&status=assigned&status=reopened&group=owner Assigned tickets by owner]
[query:status=new&status=assigned&status=reopened&group=owner Assigned tickets by owner]

Both work, no exception is triggered, and the wiki page is still editable. Could not find the changeset for source:trunk/trac/ticket/query.py​ that fixed it, but it does seem to work now in 0.10.3.
