Regression: error calling Paginator: pagination not supported for this page: kind: "page"

[skrysmanski]

Up until Hugo 0.122, you could (in a partial) check if the current page is paginated like this:

{{- if .Page.Paginator -}}

Since Hugo 0.123 this is no longer possible. Instead you get this error:

error calling Paginator: pagination not supported for this page: kind: "page"

I reckon that this could be an intended change, although it's not listed in the list of breaking changes (#11455) and so I thought to better report it.

The change could be related to #11949 but I never experienced this bug (it simply worked for me).

What version of Hugo are you using (hugo version)?

$ hugo version
hugo v0.123.0-3c8a4713908e48e6523f058ca126710397aa4ed5+extended windows/amd64 BuildDate=2024-02-19T16:32:38Z VendorInfo=gohugoio

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

Yes

This was a bug fix.

You can do something ala:

{{- if and .Page.IsNode .Page.Paginator -}}

Be careful when using .IsNode as suggested above; it returns true in the 404 template. See #12162 and #12192.

This is interesting. It's still there when I updated to 0.124.1.

Thanks for the .IsNode check. That works fine.

So are there any other better solutions?
