Description

We use mediawiki 1.37.1 and the network extension in a research project to show the (semantic) links between the pages. The wiki runs on a VM that can be accessed by VPN. On some pages in the wiki a network graph can be seen, on some pages you have to log in, to see the graph. Is this a known problem? What causes this?

We thoght about a similarity to the redirect-problem or issues on user rights/namespaces. But some graphs can be seen without beeing logged in, and (yet) no pattern is recognisable.

Kind Regards
